Oregon Senator Seeks To Block COICA

jfruhlinger writes "The COICA copyright bill may have sailed through committee, but that doesn't mean it's a done deal. Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, calling it the 'wrong medicine' to block copyright violations, is threatening to put a hold on the bill, which would block its adoption through at least the end of the year."

"Deploying this statute to combat online copyright infringement seems almost like using a bunker-busting cluster bomb, when what you need is a precision-guided missile."

...targeted at the disgusting perversions made to copyright and patent law since they were created. But such an event is purely imaginary, just like the property the laws supposedly create.

..even though he fought against health care and, coincidentally, counts health insurance companies among his biggest campaign contributors...

Well, if you mean he fought against the watered down pablum the senate passed, but he was on the record in favor of a single-payer system.
