What’s the Best Way to Protect Against Online Piracy?; New York Times, 1/20/12
New York Times; What’s the Best Way to Protect Against Online Piracy? :
"In response to online protests on Wednesday, several key Congressional lawmakers withdrew support for two anti-Web piracy measures — the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect Intellectual Property Act — both of which have the backing of powerful commercial lobbies. Although the reaction was a victory for new media, online intellectual piracy remains a serious issue.
What’s the best way to protect against online piracy? Is there a better alternative to these two bills?"

Wikipedia goes dark for 24 hours to protest web piracy bills; Foxnews.com, 1/18/12
Foxnews.com; Wikipedia goes dark for 24 hours to protest web piracy bills:
"Can the world live without Wikipedia for a day?
The online encyclopedia is one of the Internet's most visited sites, and at midnight Eastern Standard Time it began a 24-hour "blackout" in protest against proposed anti-piracy legislation that many leading websites -- including Reddit, Google, Facebook, Amazon and others -- contend will make it challenging if not impossible for them to operate."

A TV Debate on Antipiracy; New York Times, 1/15/12
Brian Stelter, New York Times; A TV Debate on Antipiracy:
"A pair of bills that would strengthen antipiracy laws — and that could effectively censor the Internet, according to heavyweights like Google — have received scant coverage from the major television networks. The parent companies of the TV networks are among the chief supporters of the bills, having lobbied Congress to write them in the first place.
Those two facts, taken together, have caused conspiracy theories to flourish online about corporate interference in news coverage."
