Companies For and Against SOPA

Where do you stand on the Stop Online Piracy Act? People and companies are lining up as pro-SOPA or anti-SOPA. There seems to be a little grey area when it comes to each company’s position. The act basically allows ISPs to block websites containing content that infringes copyright laws. Here’s a list of companies that are for and against SOPA.

Wal-Mart does not have anything to do with this :) As for WWE we doubt youll keep as many internet fans as you have now If you continue to support this threat against our first amendment rights AS the constitution says. DUH!!!!! WE refuse to live in a country that is a mock up of China and if it does comes to that [and if this passes it will] Your next generation of voters, supporters, and tax payers are gonna be Buh bye :) We mean it push all the internet geeks,nerds and freaks, push the artists, singers, and talent stars. We'll just go find somewhere else. Oh and by the by incase you 60-year old, 70-year old, senile, dust-fartin' dingbat morons didnt know.... Hackers can change IP addresses making the bills a stupid waste of paper. So youll kill trees for nothing,Jobs will decline, the already f*cked up economy will be screwed in the bunghole really hard and there wont be a next generation to fix it. real smart
