Chris leads a debate on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act, with NBCUniversal Executive Vice President and General Counsel Rick Cotton and Reddit.com co-founder Alexis Ohanian, as well as former Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) and former lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

I’m glad to see somebody in the media taking this on. I wish Chris’ show was on a little later in the day so more people could have seen this discussion. Cheers to Alexis Ohanian co-founder of Reddit for making some seriously great points.

White House Will Not Support SOPA, PIPA

Any effort to combat online piracy must guard against the risk of online censorship of lawful activity and must not inhibit innovation by our dynamic businesses large and small. […] We must avoid creating new cybersecurity risks or disrupting the underlying architecture of the Internet. […] That is why the Administration calls on all sides to work together to pass sound legislation this year that provides prosecutors and rights holders new legal tools to combat online piracy originating beyond U.S. borders […] We expect and encourage all private parties, including both content creators and Internet platform providers working together, to adopt voluntary measures and best practices to reduce online piracy.

That’s a big one on the “against” side. The real issue is this: we need to fundamentally rewrite Copyright laws to address content and the internet.
