The hosts suggest that SOPA is a "red herring" designed to distract from the Protect IP Act (S-968) in the Senate. They read a list of co-sponsors for the bill, including Al Franken, John McCain, and Dianne Feinstein, noting that the legislation uses the Lanham Act to target domain names and intellectual property.

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act are analyzed as tools for the RIAA and MPAA to exert control over the internet. The hosts explain that these laws allow the government to break DNS records to effectively shut down websites without due process. They argue the legislation is less about counterfeit physical goods and more about the entertainment industry's desire to control content distribution ahead of the election cycle.

### Protect IP Act, Justin Bieber Copyright Propaganda

- **Episode:** [352: Bean Bag Drone](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/352-bean-bag-drone.md)
- **Published:** 2011-10-30
- **Time:** 25:28–31:48
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/352-bean-bag-drone/chapter/protect-ip-act-justin-bieber-copyright-propaganda.md

The hosts examine the Protect IP Act and its potential to limit internet freedom through DNS and routing controls. They analyze a Fox News segment featuring Kimberly Guilfoyle that uses Justin Bieber as a proxy to support Senator Amy Klobuchar's copyright legislation. The hosts argue the segment is a sophisticated piece of propaganda designed to protect large corporations rather than individual artists.
