The connection between SOPA/PIPA and CISPA goes the other way; anti-SOPA/PIPA entities are using CISPA to fundraise and influenceraise, independent of the reality of CISPA. The only amendments I've read about in 2013 are PII removal and removing the "national security" terms, both of which are civil liberties enhancements. (although I don't know where to find the actual text of the amendments). The 2012 amendments were improvements to baseline CISPA (especially the ToS vs. CTI clarification, which was my only real objection to CISPA originally). I do not think I'd take your bet; the probability of something bad being attached is low, but if something bad is attached, it's high severity, so moderate risk. You'd give odds based on probability and I'd want based on expected-harm. Re: IHM. Reasonable people don't really win at politics. Look at how AARP/etc. essentially eviscerate anyone who thinks of touching Medicare or SS. Thus, horrible public policy (wealth transfers from the poor and young to the old and wealthy!) persists in the face of all logic. That it does shows how effective their lobbying/rabble-rousing strategy is. Civil libertarians tend to err on the other side, for "what would be best for society", and end up with all kinds of bad stuff happening to them. I'm ok with "ends justify means" in this case -- if "means" is "make everyone in Congress terrified of any cyber-laws which aren't explicitly and transparently improvements to individual privacy and freedom." |

This¹ site lists the amendments and has a PDF for each. I'm not sure if it's all of them or contains the ones you mention. The PDFs are dated and some are Feb-April 2013. This PDF² seems to be the current bill with the amendments accounted for in the text ("H.R. 624 as Amended").
edit: I just noticed that ² has a date of Feb. 2013 while some of the amendments have April 2013 dates, so I don't think it's the most current version.
