To reproduce this bug, have an html page with the following html (and select an option from the box):
<select size="2"> <optgroup> <option>Crash Me</option> </optgroup> </select>
I'm asking to better understand the underlying problem statement. We all keep talking about how SOPA will destroy the internet and that we need to stop it immediately. I think the best way to make that happen is to come up with an alternate solution that will improve the position of copyright holders without stifling innovation or leading towards a censored internet. I'm not talking about a compromise, I'm talking about genuinely trying to solve a problem.
To do that, we need to know what the problem is--beyond a vague statement of "piracy on the internet".
So, what is it about the DMCA legislation that they've already put through that isn't getting the job done? What are the failings of the legislation that prevent it from working? It would also be helpful to know not just how it's failing copyright holders but also consumers--since it seems as a whole we are generally against it too.
I'm sincerely asking, this isn't rhetorical or anything. I'm hoping anyone that is(has been) seriously following DMCA/SOPA/PROTECTIP can provide insight on. If there are actually supporters of SOPA here, or if not SOPA itself more legislation focused on digital content and piracy, what explicitly are they looking for.
