Has anyone seen this?? Found it on CL.
about (http://www.craigslist.org/about/) > SOPA
Corporations whose lobbyists drafted SOPA and PIPA want the ability to block you from reaching any web site (https://www.eff.org/issues/coica-internet-censorship-and-copyright-bill) they feel hurts their profits -- without due process, or review in any court -- by hijacking DNS (!) and censoring search results (https://plus.google.com/u/0/109813896768294978296/posts/Dt6FoRv6hXJ). Hoping you won't notice until it's too late, Congress is preparing to give them that right. (http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/)
For example, Monster Cable (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111005/08134716207/monster-cable-blames-rogue-sites-rather-than-its-own-business-practices-stealing-good-will.shtml) (who brought "Monster Park (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Cable_Products#Candlestick_Park_Sponsorshi p)" to 49er (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/recap;_ylt=AqgVMpYuJhunH5VW88C6YtY5nYcB?gid=201201 14025) fans) considers craigslist a "rogue site" for takedown under PIPA (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111005/10082416208/monster-cable-claims-ebay-craigslist-costco-sears-are-rogue-sites.shtml) - they want to prevent YOU from selling YOUR unwanted cables, by removing craigslist from the Internet entirely (reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/Libertarian/comments/oh4qx/craigslist_monster_cable_considers_craigslist_a/)), so they can increase their sales of new cables! Many other "rights holders" want to be able to do the same (http://nomoresopa.com/wp/?page_id=29). (Boycott anyone? There's an app for that (http://mashable.com/2012/01/09/boycott-sopa/).)
SOPA/PIPA authors (http://www.vice.com/read/lamar-smith-sopa-copyright-whoops) and supporters (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xjisu18X6s7lPtAsIQg5Ol3KJjymPT2az1kasQVwGiw/edit?pli=1) insist they're only fighting "piracy (http://gigaom.com/2012/01/13/tim-oreilly-why-im-fighting-sopa/)," but Internet Engineers understand that this is an attempt to impose China-style government control (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/12/internet-inventors-warn-against-sopa-and-pipa) over our public Internet. Hmmm, who should we believe?
Let Congress know you OPPOSE H.R. 3261 "Stop Online Piracy Act" (SOPA) and S. 968 "Protect IP Act" (PIPA):

SOPA and PIPA Are Too Dangerous To Revise, They Must Be Killed Entirely
Congress needs to hear from you (http://www.reverserobocall.com/blog/reverserobocall-com-wants-to-stop-sopa-and-give-to-the-electronic-frontier-foundation-eff), or these dangerous bills will pass (http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/) - they have tremendous lobbying dollars behind them, from corporations experts say are attempting to prop up outdated, anti-consumer business models (http://gigaom.com/2012/01/13/tim-oreilly-why-im-fighting-sopa/) at the expense of the very fabric of the Internet -- recklessly unleashing a tsunami of take-down notices and litigation, and a Pandora's jar of "chilling effects" and other unintended (or perhaps intended?) consequences.
There is still time to be heard. Congress is starting to backpedal (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/01/under-voter-pressure-members-of-congress-backpedal-on-sopa.ars) on this job-killing, anti-American nonsense, and the Obama administration has weighed in against (https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petition-tool/response/combating-online-piracy-while-protecting-open-and-innovative-internet) these bills as drafted, but SOPA/PIPA cannot be fixed or revised -- they must be killed altogether (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/10/sopa-hollywood-finally-gets-chance-break-internet).
Sen Darrell Issa (http://twitter.com/#%21/darrellissa) (R-CA) and Rep Ron Wyden (http://twitter.com/#%21/ronwyden) (D-OR) are championing an alternative to SOPA/PIPA called Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital Trade Act (OPEN) (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/01/wyden-issa-and-cea-prepare-for-critical-battles-against-sopa-and-pipa.ars) that focuses on cutting off payments to foreign sites dedicated to piracy, and refrains from disrupting basic Internet protocols, or threatening mainstream US sites like craigslist.
Tim O'Reilly, a publisher who is himself subject to piracy, asks whether piracy is even a problem, and whether there is even a legitimate need for any of these bills (http://gigaom.com/2012/01/13/tim-oreilly-why-im-fighting-sopa/).
