Microsoft today said it opposes a controversial anti-piracy bill in the U.S. Microsoft spokesman: “We oppose the passage of the SOPA bill as currently drafted” The Stop Online Piracy Act is being considered by the House of Representatives and a similar bill by the Senate. The bill would make it easier for copyright holders to retaliate against foreign websites that distribute pirated goods. Microsoft declined to join the widespread “Internet strike” that sites like Google and Wikipedia were taking action against the bill.”]
