Grover Norquist, the traditionally conservative fund, is now backing away from it's support on the SOPA bill. The bill, which is backed by lawmakers and Hollywood, would choke off access to any websites fostering pirated materials. The methods used to block these websites contain similar programs used to block access to webpages in Iran and China. Grover Norquist, the same fund which has backed strict copyrighting laws in the past, is now backing away from the act. They say it has too many flaws and open clauses which can lead to abuse by the government. The SOPA bill is set to hit the Senate floor for an open vote on January 24th, with almost all lawmakers behind it.
