#OCCUPYHOLLYWOOD: MORE ON THE “STOP ONLINE PIRACY ACT,” which is in fact an Internet censorship act.

This is the biggest power grab by Hollywood since DMCA.
Lamar Smith, Republican from Texas is one of the sponsors.
He refuses all feedback on his web site unless you put in a Zip+4 from his district.
Here’s a Zip+4 in Lamar Smith’s district:
78028-
Contact link for Lamar:

Please publish. We must let this guy know that he should never weigh in on a tech issue again no matter how much money he gets from Hollywood.
Yeah, I was pretty hard on him earlier and I see no reason to feel differently. This is a power-grab by Hollywood — and it’s a sellout by Lamar Smith, who took a lot of Hollywood money. Is it too late for a primary challenge?
UPDATE: Reader James Ruhland writes: “It’s not too late for a Primary Challenge. Prospective challengers in Lamar! Smith’s district can look here for the rules.”
ANOTHER UPDATE: Removed the Zip+4 because it identifies an individual address.
