Ron Paul (R TX) had this to say:
While combating online copyright infringement is a goal we all strongly support … this legislation would cause substantial harm to the innovation and economic opportunities created by the Internet….Like the Patriot Act, Steve Chabot would throw people's constitutional rights away solely to protect monied interests. Especially, now, with a struggling economy and high unemployment this is an unwise move,
You’ve previously stated that this legislation is intended to target “rogue” foreign websites engaging in copyright infringement. While this is a laudable goal and one we support, the SOPA’s overly broad language … would target legitimate domestic websites, creating significant uncertainty for those in the technology and venture capital industries.
