COTO Report
After failing to get COICA (Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act) passed in 2010, he is back again this year with PIPA (Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and the Theft of Intellectual Property Act).
Do not forget PIPA is the son of COICA. Back then (2010) while the Vermont ACLU was nominating Senator Patrick Leahy as the Civil Libertarian of the Year, the national ACLU office was writing him a letter in opposition to COICA legislation. Senator Wyden from Oregon subsequently tabled it.
These guys really love their acronyms. This ridiculous name– PIPA – should have been our first clue that this is yet another attempt to put more profits into the coffers of multibillion dollar conglomerates. As Homeland Security enhances the profits of the Military Industrial Complex under the guise of security, PIPA enhances the profits of multibillion dollar corporations in the music, film and pharmaceutical industries in the name of copyright infringement.
