It's worth remembering that both California senators Feinstein and Boxer were cosponsors of PIPA. They are no fans of tech. I'm waiting for a tech movement to realize that they are giving their money and votes to the enemy.

Most Bay Area techies I know, where I have a sense how they voted, did not give their money or votes to Feinstein.

There's more to tech than just internet companies. Tech opposition to PIPA was nowhere near as widespread among tech companies as it is made out to be here.
