Hollywood wants to censor the Internet, and Congress is on board

The following is from the Left-leaning "Salon" but it seems to have some substance to it
"A key U.S. Senate committee will almost certainly vote this week to censor the Internet. A fast-track bill designed to whack copyright infringement is vastly more than that, and if it’s passed and signed into law it will put America into a league with China and Saudi Arabia, among others, as a nation that makes sure most of its citizens won’t find information that a tiny, elite group deems improper for their eyes. Who’s behind it? I hardly have to tell you that Hollywood and the rest of the copyright cartel have persuaded their acolytes in Congress that it’s time to clamp down, and hard.”

you're falling for the leftist trap here, assuming that protecting copyright laws (thus cracking down on piracy) is tantamount to censorship.

I'm all for cracking down on piracy, having seen the damage it does to peoples' lives firsthand.

Lefists don't want intellectual property rights enforced, at least not if "greedy capitalists" would benefit.
