SOPA - again.

So the internet vested interest lobby has temporarily stopped the U.S. Congress legislation.

There is a very good article on it here:-

Quote of the piece:-
“The people who run [Hollywood] are so mean and so politically connected that they could do a lot of damage to civil liberties and the world economy on the way down. It would therefore be a good thing if competitors hastened their demise,” reads a post on Y Combinator’s website, which also argues that file-sharing isn’t going to be what kills movies and TV, better ways to entertain people will" 

I'd be fascinated to know "what better ways to entertain people" are? Getting off your face and posting the pictures of your inane behaviour on facebook presumably.
