Episode #0029 – SOPA and PIPA in a Nutshell




Otaku no Podcast (Audio-only Feed) show

Summary: In light of last week's mass protest against SOPA and PIPA, two destructive pieces of legislation winding their way through Congress, I thought it would be a good idea to examine in closer detail the issues that are at stake. There is a lot of good information out there; but there is also a lot of FUD, rumors, and just plain nonsense. One of my favorite podcasts recently discussed this issue in great detail, but framed in easy to understand language, and they have graciously allowed me to rebroadcast this segment on the Otaku no Podcast feed. I believe it deserves a listen. In this segment Nosillacast host Allison Sheridan and her co-host Bart dissect the technical ramifications of SOPA and PIPA, discuss the issues at stake, and explain why we must continue to remain vigilant.
