We all know the internet is loosing its wild-west character. After effectively sterilizing the biggest kingpin of the intertubes, we face a torrent of laws which seek to curb the use of the internet as we know it.

The infamous SOPA and PIPA though, are gutted after huge backlash from internet critters AND my now favorite US lawmaker; Let me introduce the only gamer in the House of Representatives, Jared Polis (he’s looking forward to Diablo 3!). In amending the new law he turns the tables on the drafters in a most brilliant way: cast them as advocates for internet porn producers!

Turns out porn copyright infringement is as common as herpes and since a large percentage of all internet traffic is porn or porn-related, ‘pornographers’ would be the first ones calling for the law to be enforced. Mr. Polis makes the case that the United States Attorney General would be compelled to defend these so aptly called ‘pornographers’.

After citing this Sesame Street and Muppet related song, he goes on to make a suprisingly coherend argument! Lovely:
