To make a long story short, the USA is already pushing for SOPA in other countries. The
game is afoot. I wonder if we've missed other countries that might
implement similar legislation soon?
In any case, it might be a good idea to check how and if the new spanish laws (will)
affect WMF, and what measures need to be taken to stay safe for now.
