As someone who does business online, I take note when Google, the Mozilla dev team, Kaspersky Labs, Zynga, Facebook, wikipedia, Twitter, human rights activists, civil liberties groups, people who built the internet like Paul Vixie (BIND) , Jim Gettys (HTTP 1.1) and Mark Andreessen (Netscape), the Electronic Frontier Foundation, AOL, eBay, PayPal, the European Parliament, LinkedIn,... all take the time and make the effort to speak out AGAINST SOPA.

Could go on, but it's late and i need some sleep. I'll be back tomorrow
