Intellectual Property Bill Passes in the House

The Intellectual Property Bill has passed in the House, the very same bill that the White House said it opposed last week. It will definitely be interesting to see what happens next.

The bipartisan legislation passed in the House 341-41, with dissenters on both sides of the aisle. The measure has received wide support from the business community, including from groups like the Recording Industry Association of America and the AFL-CIO, but it is opposed by public interest groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Public Knowledge.
