(sigh) It’s gets increasingly difficult to remain polite and civil to this kind of bullshit day in and day out. But I’ll try to explain it yet again.

This is NOT an anit-piracy bill. It will do very little to slow, much less stop piracy. What it will do is open up the internet to massive abuse, anti-competitive practices, and increased risk for hacking and spam.

The opposition is NOT astroturfing, much less being bankrolled by Google. If there is any astroturfing going on, it’s is by the entertainment industry and Congress. The only people I’ve talked to/heard from who express any sort of support for these bill are high powered corporate executives, business moguls, entrenched Congreemen and there support staffs, well paid lobbyists, and a handful of well paid content creators who like their secure incomes.

I’ve seen, spoken to, or heard from hundred of content creators themselves who are all pretty much opposed to these bills and who have nothing to do with Google or piracy.

In fact the only sense of entitlement I’ve seen from people, are, well, the people supporting these bills.

As frustrating as you people can be most of the time, I do genuinely appreciate you people commenting. IT allows me to show your actual words to people when we are discussing these matters and sometimes makes it much easier to convert them to our point of view.

So basically I say keep up the good work. You are doing more to help kill the entertainment industry with your lies, bullying tactics, and nonsense than I could do by myself.
