Congress is set to return later this month, and one of the most hotly contested pieces of legislation it will be facing is the Stop Online Piracy Act. The bill was authored by Republican Lamar Smith, and has received bipartisan support and opposition in the House. There has been a lot of talk about internet- and technology-based companies that support the bill, including GoDaddy (up until recently) and the video game industry.
But what about the giant media conglomerates? Well, we know where they stand. OpenCongress lists all the big companies that support the bill, including the following:
• NBC Universal
• Comcast
• News Corporation
• Time Warner
• Disney
• CBS Corporation
Et cetera. The list goes on. But what’s particularly notable about these companies is that they own news organizations….’
Funny, that….politicians, media and corporations in bed together, trashing your freedom. Whodathunkit?
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

Scary implications.
We can win this. But that’s no guarantee it won’t be introduced incrementally in future.
Exactly. This is the opening salvo to the war. Unfortunately it’s a war without end.
It surely is. We have to cut the head of the beast off.
Term limits. Recalls. Pitchforks.
