Stop SOPA, Stop PIPA

It's ostensibly Hollywood looking for copyright protection, but as written, if a politician says something and is quoted in a newspaper or on TV, and a blogger takes issue with his position and mentions the quote, an anonymous 3rd party can demand the blogger be shut down for using the media quote without permission.

Go here to let your congress animals know how you feel.

H/T to Insty

NOTE: In the you can't win department. The administration has said they can't quite support either bill as written, so Big Hollywood is announcing a boycott.

Is it just me, or do both those bills sound a lot like the Righthaven scam written into federal law?
