Why Both Sides of the Piracy Issue Applaud SOPA Delay (Analysis)
http://j.mp/t22NdZ (Hollywood Reporter)
"Whether it is revived next week or next year - and betting is now that
it won't resurface until after the holiday break - one thing is
becoming clear. This is a great issue over which politicians can raise
funds from donors on both sides - which is exactly what is likely to
happen in the next few weeks and months. This bill has strong support
from the MPAA, the drug industry, guilds and unions and others, all of
whom regularly give to their favorite politicians. It has growing
opposition from Google, eBay and a long list of technology companies,
Internet companies, free speech advocates and others who don't like
pirates, but feel this bill goes too far in giving the government and
copyright holders the power to shut down websites just because they
believe they are mainly about piracy."
