Ask HN: Best short article that explains SOPA/PIPA?

1 points by davidjohnstone 14y ago ↗ HN

It appears that few people outside the tech community understand why SOPA and PIPA are bad. Not even Wikipedia's "Learn more" page about their impending blackout explains what the fuss is about. What are the best short articles — the right length to share with our friends, family, and followers — that explain why SOPA and PIPA and why they are detrimental to the internet?
