(TheVerge) – It looks like SOPA has finally made it to the big time. Ron Paul — one of the many Republican contenders in the 2012 presidential election — blasted the proposed legislation during a talk on the campaign trail.

Check out the video below to see it for yourself, and keep following along with all the SOPA news in our ongoing StoryStream.
