SOPA/PIPA: Why the Open Internet Needs Us

Saturday March 10, 2012 11:00am - 12:00pm @ AT&T Conference Hotel (Salon C) (1900 University Ave, Austin, TX 78705)

This January, 15 million people came out and had their voice heard in opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP act. Major technology organizations and startups, such as Mozilla, Wordpress, and Wikipedia, took their first ever leap into engaging into technology policy issues. The Internet spoke, and for a single day was virtually unified in its opposition to these bills.
