Congressman Leonard Boswell (IA-3) today released the following statement regarding H.R. 3261, the "Stop Online Piracy Act."

"While I am supportive of protecting copyrighted content and preventing piracy, I will not back legislation that could unfairly hinder freedoms of speech and expression and possibly hurt our country's online innovators, most of which are small businesses. At this time, I do not believe SOPA strikes the appropriate balance."
