Congressional Staffers Still Can't Come To Terms With What Happened Over SOPA
"What happened was a disinformation campaign," said Mr. Moore. "People have been deceived essentially in contact with members of Congress whose claims have been extraordinary. There was a real concern, but as far as him being a genuine popular movement home-grown-street opposition, I agree on this point. "
always find this line of reasoning quite extraordinary. If you look at the history of copyright - especially during the last 40 years, has been a "disinformation campaign" after another by the RIAA and MPAA lobbyists. As we have said, Congress has made it impossible to pass 15 laws against piracy in the past 30 years - each driven by the lobbying industry how they collapse and die without that laws are passed, and how not to create not contain such laws. they have been wrong every time. So even if
was a disinformation campaign, on the other hand, in the best of all that you do is the same ground. Moreover, by examining the arguments in favor of SOPA and PIPA, were so full of misinformation obvious that I do not think any amount of disinformation against the Bills to score.
But to be clear, since I am very close in efforts to put an end to these dangerous bills, I can tell you from experience that the claim that it was a disinformation campaign "" and it was an "up-to-the street-opposition "nonsense by a person speaking from ignorance, anger or jealousy for his own pet commands invoice. working people against the project worked very, very hard to paint a clear and accurate invoice. Although there were many people who helped guide the process along protests do not take the life of different communities of people took them and ran with them - starting with Tumblr and Reddit users (followed closely by Wikipedia).
course, when you have a large group of Internet users, not all of them will understand the nuances or details. therefore without doubt disinformation entered the discussion. To be fair, however, most of the "misinformation" that I saw on the side was anti-SOPA people do not realize that (serious public pressure), Lamar Smith published a modification of a manager to remove the worst of the worst of SOPA (even leaving a lot of trouble). Some people mistakenly focused on the impact of the original invoice to claim later. It was, in fact, a mistake, but not the result of "misinformation." After all, these problems
