Wednesday's protests against the bills (in which Google, Wikipedia, Ars Technica, and other sites took part) was "a day for the history books," Wyden said, one that will "change permanently the way citizens communicate with their elected officials." It seemed like one of the goals of the Occupy movements was to reduce corporate influence in politics. It's somewhat ironic that there's overlap between the people who support the Occupy movements and those that are glad that Google, Wikipedia, Ars Technica, and other sites stepped up to influence this political situation. Understandably, we're in this mess because of corporate influences like the MPAA who helped fund the congressmen who supported the bill. But if you were truly against corporate influence, you wouldn't be happy that Google got involved.
