Apple is very open about their pro-censorship views. Always have been.

Viacom Timberland SIGMA NATO (lol) MasterCard L'Oréal Ford Copyright Alliance (Obviously Assholes) Autodesk Nike Xerox Macmillan (FYI they make schoolbooks conatining many "units" about the Internet) GlaxoSmithKline Just to name few of these Assholes You see they are everywhere. I know one of many ways we could boycott them. Just don't buy products from Sopa supporters. They lose money and cannot invest anymore.

[Katzelle3]

Hello.. It's me... again...

I've found a full list of all SOPA Supporters.

Even though big companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, Nokia, Hasbro and Nintendo(Japan and Europe) are against SOPA, other companies like BlueSky, Disney, Sony, Time Warner, EA Games, Dolby, ESPN, Visa, Wal-mart, Adidas, CBS still support it.

We have to stop these companies 'cause there are too many. We have to block their Websites to show them, what they are doing to us. C'mon guys!!! Let's fight!!!

[Katzelle3]

The reason is that sopa could take effect of apple's online services what apple doesn't like

[Katzelle3]

@SuperBrobot Well not anymore. they stopped

[Katzelle3]

BIG NEWS(i assume you never heard that) APPLE DOESN'T SUPPORT SOPA ANYMORE.

[leopower7]

I HOPE SOPA IS APPROVED

PIRACY IS KILLING MUSIC AND GAMING, SO IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED

[berowra]

@leopower7 I GUESS YOU WANT THE INTERNET TO BE LIKE CHINAS THAN, YOU KNOW, NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH

[Katzelle3]

@leopower7 So you want more than half of the internet gone. When SOPA is getting approved, the internet is going to be ruled by money eyed monopolists and every kind of social networking is going to be lost forever.

[TheSnowdolphin]

There is a PRO Sopa movement out there! Small, fast, smart. Just like the internet USED to be. Not fat, bloated and full of ugly people (like it is now). Fight SOPA! Be an original thinker! (Is that possible in this day of hype and conformity?)

[TheSnowdolphin]

How exactly does this bill get rid of free speech? Don't fall for the hype, the bill doesn't say anything about shutting down anything. It's an anti-piracy act. The SOPA hypers are getting a little paranoid with their FUD.

[SafetyPinKing]

While the initial idea is good but you should understand it will inevitably end up leading to full censorship. The internet is the one place where ANYONE can say ANYTHING they want without any real reprecussion.

[dapoculos13]

This is exactly why I won't buy an Iphone.

[kittypr1nc3ss]

Isn't Kapersky against SOPA?

[TheSnowdolphin]

Only thieves are against Sopa. Or those with loose morals. (That makes 99% of us doesn't it?)

[toddysweeny]

@TheSnowdolphin are you stupid? this gets rid of free speech..the gov cant be givin the right to shutdown any website at will thats boarderline communism...besides this wont stop pirating it will always excist all this does is push are country into furture debt and closer to communism just like gov health care!

[ziberteck]

No honorable reason to be against SOPA.

[MrMagicCreeper]

@ziberteck The economy falling apart...

[GOLDxDEAGLE]

They dropped out so did microsoft and adobe.

[SuperBrobot]

Wow! A legitimate reason to dislike Apple!

[VolodiaTheElder]

Well done! At least, this is a start. Thanks for the ideas. Some of us need that input as venting frustration through blogs, etc, is not enough. God Bless!

[KiloSierraAlpha]

Bullshit. Apple's not on the SOPA support list.

[Ahijab]

@KiloSierraAlpha Check both links in the info box. Send me a link to the list you are viewing. Thanks.

[Ahijab]

@KiloSierraAlpha Do thorough research if you're going to be a successful lawyer.

Update 11/21/11: The Business Software Alliance (BSA) (representing Adobe, Apple Inc., Dell, Intel, Intuit, McAfee, Microsoft, Sybase, Symantec and many more companies) has softened their position on SOPA/PROTECT-IP and issued a statement:

Valid and important questions have been raised about the bill. It is intended to get at the worst of the worst offenders. As it now stands, however,

[KiloSierraAlpha]

@Ahijab Just because Apple is a member of BSA (like every other big software company on planet) doesn't mean they support SOPA. In fact, go take a look at the OFFICIAL Commerce Department list of SOPA supporters and you'll see that Apple is NOT on the list while the others you listed ARE.

Your headline is completely misleading and is completely WRONG!

And please, don't lecture on me on law. I know more about law than you ever will.

[Ahijab]

@KiloSierraAlpha You're going to be a great lawyer because "you're completely misleading

and wrong" by misdirect people from focusing on the issue at hand. Liar's I mean lawyers, with some exceptions, have contributed in creating the chaos that we see today in our world.

Being with the BSA, regardless of what list Apple is or is not on, is an acceptance for what they endorse otherwise why be on it? Revealing Apple is in an effort to influence them to abandon SOPA.

Focus your energy on that!

[KiloSierraAlpha]

@Ahijab You're still offering no proof whatsoever for your initial statement and are just wasting my time with these empty bloviations.

Again, SHOW ME the PROOF that Apple is supporting SOPA. Show me the document from Apple stating that they support it!

But of course, you can't produce it because you're making shit up for adsense cash and hits.

[Ahijab]

@KiloSierraAlpha Read this whole article and there's more if you Google "Apple support of SOPA".

[Ahijab]

@KiloSierraAlpha In fairness I also found an article showing that they are now beginning to retreat from supporting the bill. But it still proves that they have been supporting it.

[Ahijab]

@KiloSierraAlpha If that's not sufficient enough for you then do your own research and stop being lazy. Call Apple. Now would you also like me to show you how to vote against the bill or do you need proof whether that exists too? BTW, I don't make money from YT at all and yes view counts do matter because it means more people will get educated regardless if they agree with me or not.

[Ahijab]

@KiloSierraAlpha - it could sweep in more than just truly egregious actors. To fix this problem, definitions of who can be the subject of legal actions and what remedies are imposed must be tightened and narrowed. Due process, free speech, and privacy are rights cannot be compromised. And the security of networks and communications is indispensable to a thriving Internet economy. Some observers have raised reasonable questions about whether certain SOPA provisions might have unintended -

[Ahijab]

@KiloSierraAlpha - consequences in these areas. BSA has long stood against filtering or monitoring the Internet. All of these concerns should be duly considered and addressed. [4] -

The point is to bring attention to the seriousness of the issue and to kill the bill. Choosing Apple is just going to get a bigger and quicker reaction.

I added more links in the info box.

[Ahijab]

@KiloSierraAlpha This should clear things up for you... watch?v=a8khPRqkJgA.

[Katzelle3]

@Ahijab Not anymore.

[Katzelle3]

@Ahijab Hey wait a moment!!!

The List you have linked in the description is outdated!!!

Many companies like Adobe Apple, and Microsoft already dropped support!
