"Saya telah mendengar dari para pengritik dan saya memandang serius kepedulian mereka berkaitan dengan peraturan yang diusulkan untuk mengatasi pembajakan daring," Smith mengatakan itu di Texas. "Telah jelas bahwa kita perlu untuk melihat kembali pendekatan untuk mendapatkan cara terbaik mengatasi permasalahan pencuri asing yang mencuri dan menjual penemuan dan produk Amerika."

Statement from Chairman Smith on Senate Delay of Vote on PROTECT IP Act

Washington, D.C. — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) today issued the following statement in response to the Senate decision to postpone consideration of legislation to help combat online piracy.

Chairman Smith:  “I have heard from the critics and I take seriously their concerns regarding proposed legislation to address the problem of online piracy. It is clear that we need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products.

“The problem of online piracy is too big to ignore. American intellectual property industries provide 19 million high-paying jobs and account for more than 60 percent of U.S. exports. The theft of America’s intellectual property costs the U.S. economy more than $100 billion annually and results in the loss of thousands of American jobs.  Congress cannot stand by and do nothing while American innovators and job creators are under attack.

“The online theft of American intellectual property is no different than the theft of products from a store.  It is illegal and the law should be enforced both in the store and online.

“The Committee will continue work with copyright owners, Internet companies, financial institutions to develop proposals that combat online piracy and protect America’s intellectual property.  We welcome input from all organizations and individuals who have an honest difference of opinion about how best to address this widespread problem.  The Committee remains committed to finding a solution to the problem of online piracy that protects American intellectual property and innovation.”

The House Judiciary Committee will postpone consideration of the legislation until there is wider agreement on a solution. (lihat sumber)
Skor sementara INTERNET 1 : 0 Konggres AS. Akan tetapi, apakah SOPA yang telah mati itu akan bangkit lagi? Kita semua berharap tidak.
