"Since then, we've heard legitimate concerns about the impact the bill could have on access to the Internet and about a potentially unreasonable expansion of the federal government's power to impact the Internet. Congress should listen and avoid rushing through a bill that could have many unintended consequences."
Actually, Sen. Rubio and his colleagues got played by the RIAA and MPAA. They were likely told that the "Internet" supported the bill (GoDaddy) and that the scope was limited to foreign sites. Further, incompetent and/or corrupt staff told him it was ok to support. The way it works, most tech staff on the Hill don't actually understand the technology, and also want to lobby for Big Copyright someday.
The result: "no controversy." But I think there's possible lasting damage for the RIAA and MPAA's reputation in Washington, people got burned by this bill.
Could that be because the Tech industry was pretty much excluded from the committee hearings?
