Floyd Abrams says SOPA is A-OK

Floyd Abrams is one of the nation's most famous First Amendment lawyers. He represented the New York Times in the case of New York Times v. Sullivan, which gave newspapers robust protections against libel lawsuits, and has been involved in numerous other prominent free speech cases over his half-century career. So the major Hollywood studios were understandably pleased when he wrote a letter on their behalf arguing that the Stop Online Piracy Act was not a threat to the First Amendment.
