Wasn't there an article some time ago here that busted the "Microsoft, Apple & coare are behind SOPA, because they are in the Business Software Alliance"?
I think it will be a great idea to call the companies you've been customer(s) of. Like I was thinking of calling Microsoft and Apple as I use both of their products.
So, when you call, mention that you are a customer and would love to keep that relationship alive. Maybe if a few hundred calls go this way, some of them will budge.
Better yet, leave poor reviews on online rating sites for their product/service.
The network itself is not the place to be stopping criminal behavior. The place to stop it is at the source, with due process. Prosecuting the humans involved. If those people are overseas then guess what? You cant prosecute them because they never agreed to your laws.
I'm wondering which side Netflix is on. They stand to gain if this goes through. But being an internet company, they must have some reservations. Anyone has any links stating their official position on this?
It is interesting to see that there are a lot of companies not related to Hollywood or the entertainment industry. They seem to be worried about product piracy.
It's weird that they think SOPA will solve their problems.

[ 3.2 ms ] story [ 35.0 ms ] thread* Call them, ask them to withdraw SOPA support. They might tell you (Like Kaspersky did) that they are not. * Edit the doc.
Apple indirectly is not not supporting SOPA publicly through their a patent coop they are on.
