The SOPA strike was necessary for us to retain neutrality. (It's the old
freedom to swing your fists where you wish, versus limiting the arc to avoid
my nose discussion; aka BSD vs GPL; aka "do what you want", vs "do unto
others"; etc. (incidentally, is there a general term for this 100% freedom vs
-except not allowed to take away freedom- rule?))
Libertarianism.
Also, the SOPA strike wasn't necessary; it was disruptive and foolish.
