THE ULTIMATE DOCUMENTATION OF THE
ULTIMATE INTERNE T KNOCK-DOWN BAT TLE!
From Aaron to Zoe—they’re here, detailing what the SOPA/PIPA battle
was like, sharing their insights, advice, and personal observations.

Politics
includes original contributions by Aaron Swartz, Rep. Zoe Lofgren,
Lawrence Lessig, Rep. Ron Paul, Reddit’s Alexis Ohanian, Cory Doctorow,
Kim Dotcom and many other technologists, activists, and artists.
Hacking Politics
is the most comprehensive work to date about
the SOPA protests and the glorious defeat of that legislation. Here are
reflections on why and how the effort worked, but also a blow-by-blow
account of the battle against Washington, Hollywood, and the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce that led to the demise of SOPA and PIPA.
DAVID MOON, former COO of the election reform group FairVote, is an
attorney and program director for the million-member progressive Internet
organization Demand Progress.
PATRICK RUFFINI is founder and president at Engage, a leading digital firm
in Washington, D.C. During the SOPA fight, he founded “Don’t Censor the
Net” to defeat governmental threats to Internet freedom. Prior to starting
Engage, Ruffini led digital campaigns for the Republican Party.
DAVID SEGAL, executive director of Demand Progress, is a former Rhode
Island state representative. While a state legislator, Segal pushed progressive
initiatives involving the environment, affordable housing, civil rights and
civil liberties. He has written for many publications, among them the
New
York Times
and
Boston Globe.
