Quote by Ron Wyden
Protect IP (PIPA) and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) are a step towards a different kind of Internet. They are a step towards an Internet in which those with money and lawyers and access to power have a greater voice than those who don't.
Summary
This quote suggests that legislation like PIPA and SOPA represents a shift in the nature of the Internet. It implies that these acts favor individuals or entities with financial means, legal resources, and influence, giving them more control and influence over online platforms. This can potentially marginalize or limit the voices and participation of those who lack such resources. The quote criticizes these acts for creating an Internet where power and privilege play a defining role, rather than promoting a democratic and accessible online environment for all.
