Topics

This event took place on Jan. 20, 2012

Highlights

On Thursday Jan. 26 Wikipedia and Reddit went dark in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). This is a bill that expands the ability of U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. (Read more about SOPA here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act)

We have put together a very special 30 minute roundtable on what SOPA means to you as a consumer. Whether you have a a strong stance on this issue, or simply want to learn the basics, check out the recording from this very important event.
