Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital Trade Act

The OPEN Act is alternative offered by the saner US House Representatives as an alternative to the various E-PARASITE Acts spawned by Hollywood-funded Congresspersons. One of the most prominent forces behind the OPEN Act is the tech-savy Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA). The OPEN Act accomplishes what SOPA and PIPA supposedly set off to accomplish (protect US citizen from fraudulent foreign products) without placing undo burdens on small businesses or granting vast censorship powers to the entertainment industries.
