Greetings Dakkaites,

I didn't take place in any Dakka-related discussion on SOPA and PIPA, the wildly unpopular copyright infrigement and protection bills, but I assume there was as much debate and condemnation as everywhere else. As my duty to inform as many people of this as possible, I'm bringing you all some information regarding a new bill that Americans and indeed the world should be cautious and suspicious of. The bill is called CISPA, and it is currently co-sponsored by over 100 of Americans elected representatives. The bill, while not as terribly worded as SOPA was, is still something that any internet user should be aware of.

I've provided some links at the bottom of the page with news articles on the matter, as well as my Facebook page that I am an admin of. Please feel free to question, comment, and share with friends, as you please.

Digital Trends, CISPA is not SOPA 2, but just as bad:
