Reddit Co-Founder Criticizes SOPA on Bloomberg TV [Video]

Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian spoke with Bloomberg about his criticism of the creative industries’ SOPA bill and how it will affect small start-up businesses.  He explained that SOPA, which proposes to have the ability to shut down a site if it has private content, would have choked Reddit and other new technology sites before they had a chance to grow.  He explains that the onus should be on the creative industries to come up with a solution to monetize and protect their content.

Reddit is up in arms about SOPA themselves, and have taken steps to try and prevent the bill from going through.
