MSNBC Supports SOPA by running pro-SOPA/PIPA ad during day of blackout!!!

This pro-SOPA commercial aired during the Chris Matthews show on MSNBC 01-18-12, the same day as the internet blackout. It is important to note that NBC's Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Richard Cotton, is also Chairman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce cross-sector Coalition Against Counterfeiting and Piracy (CACP), which represents over 500 companies and associations who have come together to fight the vital economic battle against counterfeiting and piracy. He serves on the Steering Committee of BASCAP, Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy, an arm of the International Chamber of Commerce dedicated to the enforcement and protection of intellectual property rights worldwide.

FUCK SOPA

[LastDriveInStudios]

The Internet brings people together regardless of where they live.This propaganda bullshit is using foreign people as an excuse to commit tyranny and oppression to the American people.It is a tactic Hitler used,and an old one we're not going to fall for. Fuck you SOPA,MPAA(Motion Pictures association) can either start belting out better shit,and play good with the internet or it will FAIL.

I saw this the morning of the blackout and I almost picked up a lamp to throw at my tv.

There are smarter ways to tell Congress to stop online piracy than supporting a bill which will allow the MPAA to prune the internet for their own profit interests.

"Now, American innovation and creativity is under attack. Every day, foreign criminals use illegal websites to steal American products."

Wow. Nativist response much?

Here is the problem with SOPA. It's not going to stop piracy. What it will do however is stop kids from posting youtube videos of their Call of Duty sessions, stop people from posting lip syncing videos, stop people from posting any video that may have a logo in it for something, it will basically stop people from being able to post anything on the internet in fear of being targeted by the law. There is already copyright law in the US. It's not like SOPA is the first ever attempt at this.
