[QUOTE="klein, post: 928476, member: 23950"] Who's the job-killer now ? (Obama opposes the bill) ! After the White House voiced its opposition to the bills, media baron Rupert Murdoch, the CEO of Fox News, tweeted, "So, Obama has thrown in his lot with Silicon Valley paymasters who threaten all software creators with piracy, plain thievery." Corynne McSherry, intellectual property director for the internet rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation does see a potential benefit for Canada if SOPA becomes law: cutting-edge technology entrepreneurs will just offer their services outside the U.S. "You may see a lot of new jobs in Canada," she said. For McSherry, copyright is "an issue you cannot legislate your way out of." And with SOPA, she says, "the cost so far outweighs any conceivable benefit." There is a simple solution, she said: "Give people access to authorized, legitimate alternatives, and they will go there." (browncafe.ca in the near future) ???? :) [/QUOTE]
