postheadericon Rep. Darrell Issa Joins Rep. Lofgren In Saying That SOPA Is A Bad Idea

soup and protect IP love to claim that their accounts are "bipartisan," but it seems that there is also a very serious bipartisan bill is a dangerous over-regulation of the Internet. We already mentioned the representative Michele Bachmann against the soup / IP PROTECT approach to Internet regulation, and now a member Darrell Issa, head of the powerful Commission on monitoring and government reform joined Representative Lofgren to express their concerns about the soup. The two sent a "bipartisan" letter to his colleagues in the house, pointing to the article in the LA Times on many issues with the soup, and argued that this is exactly the wrong approach at the wrong time:


HR 3261, unfortunately, it does not follow an approach based on consensus. It would give the government broad powers to Internet service providers to implement different filtering technologies on their networks. Also create new forms of action against private websites, which isolates them from the providers of payment services and advertising, by default, without judicial review, following a complaint from the owner the right to author, even one whose work is not necessarily reached.

innovation and trade were responsible for 15 percent of U.S. GDP growth from 2004 to 2009, according to the McKinsey Global Institute. Before imposing a new regulatory regime on the Internet culture, we must carefully consider the risks that could cause the key driver of our economy.


It's good to see more people in Congress realize that just because a sector is to regulate the Internet largely mean it is actually a good thing for the rest of the economy - especially for the sector of the economy is actually creating jobs and economic growth
