New Version Of 'Stop Online Piracy Act' As Controversial As Ever (Analysis)

http://j.mp/tno3Xj  (Hollywood Reporter)

   "Public Knowledge, one of the groups leading the charge against the
    bill, doesn't believe there has been much progress in the new SOPA.
    "The amendment continues to encourage DNS blocking and filtering,
    which should be concerning for internet security experts and human
    rights activists alike," said Sherwin Siy, deputy legal director of
    Public Knowledge.  Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt also echoed
    that sentiment. The bill would "criminalize linking and the
    fundamental structure of the Internet itself," he said yesterday.
    That reaction brought strong rebuke from the MPAA, which has been
    attempting to steer legislation through the home stretch."
