The death of American blogging

The SOPA the greedy pols are about to pass, for the benefit of the Hollyweird types who have lined the politicians’ pockets with bribes, could make this among the last few posts I link to copyrighted material. Why?

The fine print of the law says sites that distribute copyrighted content could be subject to summary censorship… But it also encompasses any sites that LINK to copyrighted content…”

Like the link above. And Instapundit, who does very little else. In fact, you could say this new law will be the death of American blogging as we have known it. Geez, Louise, could that possibly be a coincidence?

UPDATE:  I’m sure it’s no coincidence at all that the Leftist media is bankrolling some of the SOPA bribes. They love the blogs so.

  1. Yep. Bad thing no matter how you look at it. And to be copied, undoubtedly, by many other countries.

  2. We’re going to have to start asking permission to link, at best. But the terms of the law allow anyone to complain (and, therefore, censor) not just the content owner.
