I don't really understand the specifics of this law, just the general gist that it's a way to protect the movie, videogame, and music industry from piracy. I am against piracy so I am supportive of any measures to protect against it. However, as the article states, the law is too vague to be able deal with the entertainment industry only and not endanger freedom of expression generally. It seems to me that it's up to the entertainment industry to figure out a way to police it's own material and not lay the burden upon internet providers in general.
