I think this comment summarizes the whole scenario quite well:
[quote]Clear as crystal. The men who support SOPA don't actually understand what they're supporting, just that someone is giving them a metric ****ton of money to do so.[/quote]
It reminds me of something I read about a month or two ago. There's a website called
http://www.youhavedownloaded.com/ which tracks torrent downloads based on IP addresses. If you do a search for the IP's of the media corporations themselves, you will find that they also illegally download content. No joke.[/quote]
Ugh, how sickeningly hypocritical. Will big companies like those be exempt from the legal effects of SOPA and PIPA if they pass (*gag*)? I'm gonna take a pessimistic guess and say they probably will be because they have lots of money and nearly all of them seem to be supportive of these... things.
