In a potential problem for the movie industry, the White House has issued a warning about the anti-piracy legislation in Congress.While agreeing that online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem and requires a serious legislative response, it “will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.”

Rep. Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, claims that the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) won’t be taken up by the House in its current incarnation. But given the lobbying power of the entertainment industry and others in their corner, don’t be surprised to see this legislation make it back under a different guise.
