If you read the FAQ you'll see that the project has been politicised only by the media. The actual intended first use is as a supplementary communications network, similar nature to HAM radio (who already have their own sats in orbit).

But yes, SOPA (and whatever the other one that's being looked at is called) is bad. Very bad.

The internets is a series of tubes.

I read an article about this. But only when I saw 'fallback infrastructure in case of natural and economic disaster' did it make sense.

So I guess that SOPA has confused or re-imagined the use for it. But I do like how whenever new laws come about to alter the internet, someone build new and better technology around it.

this is the first I've heard if SOPA

there are some very rich companies that don't like it too

Its more like censorship and anti-piracy measures are creating the perfect environment for the internet to evolve faster than normal.

Oh irony, how I love thee.

SOPA has been defeated (for now)
