Three cheers to the Heritage Foundation who join the Cato Institute in opposing SOPA. The federal government needs to protect intellectual property rights. But it should do so in a way that does not disrupt the growth of technology, does not weaken Internet security, respects free speech rights, and solves the problem of rogue sites. Congress should carefully consider the consequences of and alternatives to the legislation before moving forward. James L. Gattuso is Senior Research Fellow in Regulatory Policy in the Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation.
The Center for American Progress doesn't appear to have taken a position, although they did provide the MPAA with a forum to promote the bill. Not the same thing as endorsing it, but... At least their Campus Progress subdivision has spoken out against SOPA. Lesson: Only trust Democrats under the age of 30? The Heritage Foundation takes a principled stand against SOPA |
