I don't see anywhere in the statement where they say they're "against" the bills. They express some concerns, but they leave themselves a ton of room to support slightly modified versions.
- phaus 15y agoExactly. The only thing that I got out of the article was that they are opposed to making themselves look bad. The only politicians and companies that can be trusted when they say that they oppose SOPA are the ones who opposed it from the start. If normal citizens hadn't started the SOPA awareness campaign then SOPA would have been passed already. The rest of these people are just jumping on a bandwagon to save themselves some bad publicity. People need to realize that every single politician who decided to oppose SOPA only after the public applied pressure is a liar. These people supported SOPA with full knowledge of what it would do to the internet. The Obama administration has a ton of people who got to where they are because of the entertainment industry lobbyists. The next administration will too.
