It's unfortunate that this is even an issue ... but it is really important. Watch the above video so you don't sound like an idiot when someone asks you why you support Anti-SOPA initiatives. It's great to get behind causes and get swept up in the passion but be INFORMED. This could be serious.

An easy analogy from Cory Doctorow ...

"If I turned up, pointed out that bank robbers always make their escape on wheeled vehicles, and asked, “Can’t we do something about this?”, the answer would be “No”. This is because we don’t know how to make a wheel that is still generally useful for legitimate wheel applications, but useless to bad guys. We can all see that the general benefits of wheels are so profound that we’d be foolish to risk changing them in a foolish errand to stop bank robberies. Even if there were an epidemic of bank robberies—even if society were on the verge of collapse thanks to bank robberies—no-one would think that wheels were the right place to start solving our problems."
