Perhaps, like me, you didn’t know nor care too much about SOPA/PIPA (Stop the Online Piracy Act, and the other one), but believed your friends on the left when they hyperventilated that it would be the end of the Internet, and thus the world. (And like me you noticed their keening wails when every one of the Republican candidates stood onstage in South Carolina and was better on the issue than our own beloved President O). But believing them wasn’t the same thing as caring.
Leave it to Joe Escalante, who managed to make a lunchtime radio show about copyright and intellectual property law fascinating, to explain the problem both concisely and harrowingly!
