that's what this guy http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/or8ag/ive_read_the... is saying as well. There was this first version with the most draconian measures arranged without the knowledge of public but then it got watered down, but nobody seems to have noticed...


I don't understand why you are getting so many down votes. Of all the analysis I've seen on forums, websites, and in magazines, that one seems to be the most thorough and best documented.

If the down voters are aware of a flaw in it, I wish they would say something instead of just burying you.


A similar thing happened with SOPA. The original version was really vague and looked like it could be applied to domestic sites. Some parts were clarified and became much watered down. That still didn't make the watered down version a good bill, but everyone was still bashing the old version.

A question that I find interesting is: would the bill have been so clarified and watered down without all of the people getting irrational about it?
