During a speech at a CareerBuilder event last night Al Gore voiced his concerns about the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

Responding to a question from the audience, the former US Vice President said that while content creators have legitimate concerns, SOPA is not the right answer.

“Anything that would threaten the vibrancy and freedom of the Internet and the future, I’m against.”
