This is the same congressperson who named a bill after Aaron Swartz,<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5064448">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5064448</a> (<i>"Rep. Zoe Lofgren Introduces Aaron's Law [pdf] (house.gov)"</i> (2013))
I fucking love Public Knowledge. They have been around for a while & just amazing on so many fronts. The choice quote here:<p>> <i>Although Lofgren said her proposed Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act "preserves the open Internet," consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge described the bill as a "censorious site-blocking" measure "that turns broadband providers into copyright police at Americans' expense."</i><p>Sort of sucks that California is a blue state whose politicians are reliably/consistently/predictably under the utter control of the movie industry! Not great! It'd be nice to see a progressive party that doesn't have such major pro-control pro-capitalist tendencies.
