International human rights community vs SOPA

An enormous, diverse global coalition of press freedom and human rights groups have signed onto a letter (PDF) opposing America’s Stop Online Piracy Act, the worst proposed Internet law in the USA’s legislative history. Included signatories are as varied as India’s Center for Internet and Society, the Church of Sweden, Colombia’s Karisma, the UK Open Rights Group, and Reporters Without Borders. The letter itself is a great piece of writing: “This is as unacceptable to the international community as it would be if a foreign country were to impose similar measures on the United States.” (Thanks, Alan!)
