¡Copiad, malditos! - El documental. Pro-copyright group takes SOPA to task. The Heritage Foundation, probably the nation's most influential conservative advocacy group, has long been a reliable ally of large copyright holders.
But not when it comes to the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act . The venerable think tank, which enjoys close ties with the Republican Party and inspired President Reagan's missile defense program and the GOP's welfare reform effort, warned today that SOPA raises important security and free speech concerns. "The concern with SOPA is that it enforces private property rights at the expense of other values, such as innovation on the Internet, security of the Internet, and freedom of communication," James Gattuso, Heritage's senior research fellow in regulatory policy, told CNET this evening.
While SOPA addresses a "very real problem," he says, it's not necessarily the right solution.
