It seems likely the people creating South Park (and not just Trey and Matt) would be pro-SOPA. After all, most people in the entertainment sector see it as a threat. (Yes, we may argue that South Park is popular because of the Internet.. but it's entirely likely they'd see it a different way.)
- jiggy2011 15y agoThat is possible. However southpark does not usually represent establishment thinking. I remember they did an episode years ago about Napster and they were quite critical of the RIAA position on it. They would probably have some point like "these laws are bad , but if you don't want people trying to pass them then you should stop pirating stuff"
- holman 15y agoA quick Googling didn't turn up anything, but I'd be shocked if Matt and Trey supported SOPA. Comedy Central, maybe, but not them. Allegedly from the South Park Studios FAQ: (http://www.idealog.us/2006/10/matt_and_trey_w.html http://www.idealog.us/2006/10/matt_and_trey_w.html): > Matt and Trey do not mind when fans download their episodes off the Internet; they feel that it’s good when people watch the show no matter how they do it.
- redthrowaway 15y agoMatt and Trey are actually pretty strong libertarians, so I doubt they'd support it on ideological grounds.
