If you don't know what SOPA is you clearly must be dead. The good news is that, at least for now, SOPA is dead. Now we can reflect on the idea of this legislation itself. Or, more accurately, how it is a big example of how the US Congress seems to have forgotten that they work for the people—the real live ones, not the imitation ones called corporations.

I did a bit of looking around in the world press about SOPA. It certainly made the news. Here is Nicaragua there were a few articles which were, as we would expect, all negative.

The biggest coverage I found was in Los Tiempos, a daily newspaper in Cochabamba Bolivia. They have a special edition (I think that really means a special section/supplement) just on SOPA titled Especial: Legisladores de EEUU abandonan ley antipiratería tras la protesta en Internet.

The US may have more moneymore credit than other countries in the world but more and more I see world opinion moving in a much different direction that the US government. Hey, usanos, you need to get your government back under control.
