SOPA/PIPA Authors Become Lobbyists

Take a look at this new ad paid for by Creative America an entertainment industry group, courtesy of the entertainment industry, that's urging you to protect American jobs and support the SOPA and the Protect IP Act. We've spoken at length on the show about just how damaging these two pieces of legislation would be not only to the Internet, but to the first amendment. Politico reports that two Republican staffers who are responsible for writing the dangerous and destructive legislation in both the House and the Senate have moved onto two of the lobbying firms who are most in favor of the bills.
