“ The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has looked at tomorrow’s “Internet blackout” in opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)—and it sees only a “gimmick,” a “stunt,” “hyperbole,” “a dangerous and troubling development,” an “irresponsible response,” and an “abuse of power.”
“A dangerous and troubling development” and “abuse of power” is the amount of money established industries invest in creating protective laws instead of directly developing businesses and markets.
Also, SOPA’s not dead. Hearings are resuming in February after some markup.
