Mark Zuckerberg post on his Facebook
"At Facebook, we take online piracy and copyright infringement very
seriously. Rogue foreign sites that pirate American intellectual
property or sell counterfeit goods pose significant problems for our
economy. However, we believe the PROTECT IP Act (or PIPA) and the Stop
Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which are currently being considered by
Congress, are not the right solution to this problem, because of the
collateral damage these overreaching bills would cause to the Internet."
"PROTECT IP and SOPA could create very real problems for Internet
companies like ours that are a primary driver of innovation, growth, and
job creation in the 21st century economy. The bills contain overly
broad definitions and create a new private cause of action against
companies on the basis of those expansive definitions, which could
seriously hamper the innovation, growth, and investment in new companies
that have been the hallmarks of the Internet. In addition, we are
concerned about provisions in the bills that could chill free expression
or weaken the Internet’s architecture."
