“better to get this done right rather than fast and wrong. Stealing content is theft, plain and simple, but concerns about unintended damage to the Internet and innovation in the tech sector require a more thoughtful balance, which will take more time.”
How about just leaving the internet Alone!
Or at least leave it to people who know what they are doing instead of rejects that have their heads up their ass's and can't even manage Money!

Online protests on Wednesday quickly cut into Congressional support for anti-Web piracy measures as lawmakers abandoned and rethought their backing for legislation that pitted new media interests against some of the most powerful old-line commercial interests in Washington.
A freshman senator, Marco Rubio of Florida, a rising Republican star, was first out of the starting gate Wednesday morning with his announcement that he would no longer back anti-Internet piracy legislation he had co-sponsored. Senator John Cornyn, the Texas Republican who heads the campaign operation for his party, quickly followed suit and urged Congress take more time to study the measure that had been set for a test vote next week.
Mr. Cornyn posted on his Facebook page that it was “better to get this done right rather than fast and wrong. Stealing content is theft, plain and simple, but concerns about unintended damage to the Internet and innovation in the tech sector require a more thoughtful balance, which will take more time.”

Chinese government hit with $2.2 billion piracy lawsuit
A California software company is suing the Chinese government for $2.2 billion dollars for allegedly stealing over 3000 lines of code from one of the company's software code.
Heh...that's all the Chinese are good at...copying others work. Telegraph
A Californian company claims that China stole its work and used it to create Green Dam, a controversial censorship program that China initially wanted to install on every new computer in the country.
China claimed that Green Dam would help protect children from pornographic and violent content on the internet, but its critics claimed that the program also blocked politically sensitive information. [...]
Cybersitter claims that more than 3,000 lines of its software code were lifted by the Chinese, a finding that was initially reported by independent researchers at the University of Michigan, who also said that Green Dam left users exposed to viruses.
