Ask HN: Feasibility of setting up a fund to oppose SOPA/PIPA

10 points by sidww2 ↗ HN
What's the feasibility of setting up a fund to oppose SOPA/PIPA? While organizations like EFF are involved in such efforts, they focus on a broad range of efforts. The same goes for Facebook and Google. It may be possible to galvanize a lot more support for a particular issue like this especially since this threatens the existence of an open Internet and will have a negative economic effect on the denizens of the tech community. If even a 100,000 people denote an average of $100 (a possibly reasonable goal given the wealth of the tech community), this would guarantee an important place on the table for supporters of Internet freedom.

Edit: I was under the incorrect impression that OPEN act would end nonsense like SOPA/PIPA. Edited post to reflect that.
