"some technology business interests are resorting to stunts that punish their users..." I wonder if the MPAA has heard of DRM. Of course, said 'interests' have evaluated the cost of annoying their customers against the social and economic cost of SOPA and make their own decision. "... or turn them into their corporate pawns" Because, in the eyes of the MPAA, information is bad and/or people are stupid. "It is also an abuse of power given the freedoms these companies enjoy in the marketplace today." Using their market freedom to protect their market freedom? How dare they! Etc. "...designed to punish elected and administration officials who are working diligently to protect American jobs from foreign criminals." Yes, the poor and weak American elected official must be protected from the wrath of the informed populous. Le Sigh.
