“There is no doubt that adapting copyright law to an ever changing digital environment is a necessary, yet daunting task, but one thing that has remained steadfast through time is our nation’s commitment to the freedom of expression. As it stands, I believe that HR 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act or SOPA goes too far in limiting these freedoms while not going far enough in stopping the individuals who infringe on copyrighted material. I am opposed to this legislation and look forward to working with my colleagues in the House to look for a more comprehensive approach.”
