#7 Gen Y Stops SOPA Legislation in One Week

Gen Y went online and in a few days stopped bad legislation on intellectual property.

SOPA, the misleadingly named Stop Online Piracy Act, actually gave corporations huge gifts of ownership of words, images and other intellectual property that should be owned by the public and the public good.

The kids went online and stopped the proposed legislation in the United States Congress in just one week in January of 2012.  

Gen Y is fighting to prevent corporations and other private entities from owning words, curriculum, images and other intellectual property that need to be shared.

An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a friend who had been doing a little research on this. And he actually bought me dinner because I found it for him... lol. So allow me to reword this.... Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about this subject here on your blog.

Not just Gen Y: I'm a BB (baby boomer), and I signed online petitions, etc. against SOPA & PIPA.
