As far as piracy goes, even the copyright mob's own studies show piracy is at worst a wash (a sale negated by piracy is also added because of it) or that it actually adds to sales over time. There is a big reason why you see big time artists who have gone independent such as Coldplay and Nine Inch Nails release their latest albums for free.

LONG LIVE THE INTERNET

see you later MPAA!!! You knew you were toast when Matt and Trey blew you guys out of the water

Check out

"This film is not yet rated"

the MPAA is the shadiest of the shades!

Excellent film and goes to show the kind of censorship the MPAA Ratings board goes through. My favorite part was when the creators of South Park were trying to distribute their independent film Orgazmo vs the South Park movie and how they were treated differently.

Hmmm....where have I heard all this before? Ah, yes....VCR's will destroy the movie industry! Cassette tapes will be the death of the music industry! Nobody stifles innovation like these guys. The more power and control they get, the more they seem to want.

Abuse of power!
ARE YOU *ING KIDDING ME???

They wanna take over the internet and block websites for the American public, but it's an abuse of power to blackout a website to educate people on what will actually happen when SOPA and PIPA pass? Then it'll be a PERMANENT blackout on whatever websites the government deems inappropriate.

How does this even make sense? I think they're just pissed off that people are actually opposing their control-freak plans.

An abuse of power? I don't think the MPAA quite understands the meaning of that. Or they do, and are taking the "Do as I say, not as I do" route.
Either way, horse crap. People speaking up against restrictions of freedom is not an abuse of power. Preventing them from doing so is.

Contact the Motion Picture Association of America at ContactUs@mpaa.org and write some complaints. Although it won't though much, the negative response from consumers is sure to shake them up a little if it occurs on a large enough scale. I suggest we also boycott their products untill further notice.

The SOPA Sponsors are biting the hands that feed. This is never a wise idea. We will eliminate all who support this act by boycotting them. Simple and effective now to get everyone else on board... Just have to do this and then the corporations will bow down before the people they are supposed to serve.

You can't get everyone else on board because none of them are even aware of SOPA. Today a bunch found out for the first time. Still not that many.

I find the MPAA's take on the protest agianst SOPA and PIPA outrageous. This is not an abuse of power. This is a free and legitimate excuse of power by the people against a law they see as unjust. Mr. Dodd and the MPAA has forgotten about the first amendment. Oh, Excuse me, The first amendment is a barrier to even more profits for Mr. Dodd and his like minded sociopaths who think the because they have all the riches they can push their will on the American Public. This should not suprise anybody really concerning the fact that Mr. Dodd was a sitting U.S. Senator and therefore a tool of the ruling class. Also, As Chairman of the Senate Banking Commitee, He was getting sweetheart deals from Countrywide financial prior to their buyout from Bank of America.
