Victory for the Spread of Information

*Lawmakers withdraw support of anti-piracy bills after online protest.* http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/19/tech/sopa-blackouts/index.html?iref=allsearch#

Many large and well known online sites decided to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) bill, and Protect IP Act (PIPA). Most Americans do not want to be censored. i am all in favor for limiting the powers of the government. What i am wondering is how does these companies get their stuff stolen, they should cleanse their own companies first before wanting to censor the rest of us. i am always hearing of leaks of a movie that is now online, rather than blaming the internet for this problem . Even though i agree with the movie companies that it is illegal for others to copy their movies, i don't agree with the way they are going about doing it. Anytime i see lobbying of congress, i immediately know that what that group wants is not what the general public wants. Congress should represent the members of there districts and not who just gives them money, that is corruption, and that is one of the reasons why the approval rating for Congress is 13.3%.


Information should be free and easily accessible, rather then trying to limit information, we should be becoming a more open society.
