Why The Verge and Vox Media are opposed to SOPA
I didn’t intend this to be SOPA day, it just kind of happened. You should read the statement by Vox Media. The whole thing.
Copyright law in the United States hasn’t been seriously rethought since 1998 — before Google was really even a company, let alone before social networks like Twitter and Facebook and services like YouTube built empires out of regular people sharing content with each other. It’s no wonder the law feels out of touch with reality, and SOPA is so rooted in that obsolete model that it’s almost offensive to anyone who’s been paying attention.
