EFF on How SOPA Affects Students, Educators, and Libraries

From the Electronic Frontier Foundation Deep Links Blog by Parker Higgins:

Big media groups like the MPAA and the RIAA have historically targeted college campuses with “anti-piracy” measures, and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) — the blacklist bill they’re trying to push through Congress — is no exception. The bill’s supporters insist that it targets only “rogue” foreign sites dedicated to piracy, but its vague language and overbroad enforcement methods all but ensure it could be used to stifle student and educator speech.

The post includes a mention of the ALA and Library Copyright Alliance.
