An utterly delusional essay by MPAA head Chris Dodd in support of SOPA/PIPA

"Protecting Free Speech Online"

http://j.mp/uIIuMg  (Huffington)

    "Piracy apologists have it backwards. If there is a threat to free
     speech here, it is that these international content thieves are
     destroying artists' ability to make a living sharing their ideas.
     Indeed, while we who support cracking down on content theft are bound
     by -- and deeply respectful to -- the protections for free speech and
     due process enshrined in our Constitution, those who side with the
     criminals seem oddly unconcerned with another Constitutional
     principle."

Very sad case.
