What's On the Blacklist? Three Sites That SOPA Could Put at Risk
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/11/whats-blacklist-three-sites-sopa-could-put-risk

Don't let well intended idealists fool you. EFF put together some details
regarding unintended consequences and SOPA.

  Proponents of the latest disastrous IP bill , the .Stop Online Piracy
  Act. (SOPA) insist it only targets the .worst of the worst.: so-called
  .rogue. foreign websites that profit from pirating U.S. intellectual
  property. But the broad definitions and vague language in the bill
  could place dangerous tools into the hands of IP rightsholders, with
  little opportunity for judicial oversight.  One very possible outcome:
  many of the lawful sites you know and love will face new legal threats.

Appose HR 3261 today.
Stop Online Piracy Act

make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
