WASHINGTON, D.C. – NetCoalition, a group of leading Internet and technology companies, today launched a radio advertising campaign in Missouri highlighting the important job creator the Internet has become and the damage the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) will do to our economy. Both bills will create onerous regulations that will devastate the technology sector and jobs in Missouri.
“Our ability to innovate, invest, and grow the economy is dependent upon keeping the Internet open and free. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) would stifle innovation, censor free and lawful speech and reduce investment in the Internet sector–one of the few areas of our economy growing, thriving and hiring,” said Markham Erickson, Executive Director of NetCoalition. Missouri residents must reach out to their representatives in Congress and let them know the Internet is too important to let these seriously flawed pieces of legislation pass.”
