Did you read anything he said? While there's a lot of bluster to filter through, his points were more something like the following:
1) Americans want to "protest" by doing things that don't cost them their comfort.
2) We are (successfully) protesting SOPA/PIPA, but the real problem is not the legislation. The problem is how the legislation got created (companies lobbying Congress, and Congressmen acting solely in those companies best interest).
3) In light of 1) and 2), we should use what power we do have as consumers and voters to prevent such legislation from being created again.
While we can debate the merits and effectiveness of boycotts, or voting, let's try not to strawman the article.
