Abstract
The seeds for this post came almost 3 weeks ago when a friend of mine commented that SOPA is not a big deal in South Africa because its outside of US jurisdiction so we had nothing to be bothered about – I disagreed (and started making notes for a future blogpost). And about a week ago a colleague of mine asked what the effects of SOPA would be in South Africa and on open education particularly. Given the comments, I decided to analyse the SOPA bill and look at its potential impact focusing on open education.
