That Lamar Smith dude is getting a TON of hate for all this. He had to have been payed off really well to take on all this bad publicity. This kind of publicity is like "you will never be elected again if people link you to the SOPA debacle" kind of publicity.

Not like he needs to ever work again, he probably got payed millions for this bullshit.

I do love that we're seeing evolution and change in action here. Before the internet (ironic lol) this would have passed overnight no problem. its amazing to see this internet thing do its magic.

npr was saying something along the lines sopa put 90k into his campaign and mpaa did something like 70k for this bullshit this morning.

the people in the industry were sputtering mad that anyone could be up in arms about this.

his website has a bunch of media contributors, but nothing of what they were talking about on the radio this morning.
