Today is December 15th, 2011, and here in the US the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives is debating House Judiciary Committee Markup of #SOPA: H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act.
As brave and forward as that name states, as I watch the proceeding I am dismayed and shocked at the lack of understanding of our representatives to the issues being brought up. I will simply say this. These people are not educated enough to make a decision, one way or another, on this bill, and with that said, they should not be moving it through committee.
The sheer lack of understanding of DNS (domain name service), dynamic IP allocation, DNS to IP variability and the potential disastrous effects of this bill that seem to be completely overlooked should have been the first thing that suggested these folks aren't educated enough to vote on this issue.
So the question comes (with the tin-foil hat) what or who is behind the impetus to get SOPA out of committee today? Who stands to benefit from SOPA?
