Google's David Drummond explained the company's views on SOPA/PIPA in an official blog post.
PIPA and SOPA will censor the web, stifle innovation and hurt web businesses, says Drummond, and it won't even help the fight against piracy.
"These bills would grant new powers to law enforcement to filter the Internet and block access to tools to get around those filters (...) These bills would make it easier to sue law-abiding U.S. companies. Law-abiding payment processors and Internet advertising services can be subject to these private rights of action," writes Drummond.
"These bills wouldn’t get rid of pirate sites. Pirate sites would just change their addresses in order to continue their criminal activities," writes Drummond, calling everyone to sign the anti-SOPA petition and reach out to Congress in order to fight this proposed bill.
