RSparky Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 lots of people live under a rock. the news companies refuse to report on sopa, because they know the public would outcry. so all the old farts who watch tv all day long, but don't really know how to use a computer... have no clue about it.

ReconRat Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 SOPA is a congressional bill written by lawyers for lawyers.The winners will be lawyers both pro and con. Both prosecution and defense.The losers will be everyone else in existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imprez55 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) The list seems a little outdated. If I remember right, at least Sony Electronics pulled their support after Anon threatened them and I believe Nintendo silently followed suit.Edit: Looks a little more in depth, but the op's list is still mistaken. [EA, Nintendo and Sony] had signed their names to a letter from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Global IP Center, released in support of SOPA-like legislation, but had never actually directly endorsed SOPA itself, which is why their names aren't on the list. They haven't changed their position on anything, and while it's better than nothing that none of them have explicitly come out in favor of the proposed law, the fact that the ESA is still pushing hard for it remains deeply discouraging.Source Edited January 13, 2012 by imprez55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kritz Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) lots of people live under a rock. the news companies refuse to report on sopa, because they know the public would outcry. It's also worth mentioning that all the major news outlets (Fox, ABC, NBC, and MSNBC support the Bill. Hence the silence Edited January 16, 2012 by Kritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
