Stop Online Piracy Act: Broad bill needs scrutiny
James Temple
San Francisco Chronicle
The tech sector came out resoundingly this week against the Stop Online Piracy Act, a bipartisan bill that chips away at critical legal protections that foster online innovation and open communication.
A group of industry giants including Google, Facebook, Twitter and Yahoo jointly issued a letter to lawmakers that blasted the measure.
“The bill as drafted would expose law-abiding U.S. Internet and technology companies to new uncertain liabilities, private rights of action and technology mandates that would require monitoring of Web sites,” the letter stated.

This a blog about data visualization and interfaces. Not politics. Not business strategy. Not law.
However, as a co-founder of a small business devoted to data visualization and interface design, politics, business and law are things I have to stay on top of to do my job.
My job is about to get a lot harder if the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is passed.
