SOPA: 9 Tech Companies That Support The 'Stop Online Piracy Act'

SOPA: 9 Tech Companies That Support The 'Stop Online Piracy Act'

In a speech to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, former Senator and MPAA President Chris Dodd chastised tech companies who oppose SOPA saying, "There are those in the tech industry who hold the mistaken belief that there is nothing wrong with providing links to stolen content[...] I wonder if they would feel the same if their patents were stolen and used by others for profit?"

Come on Mr. Dodd, this does not even make sense. Name someone who thinks it is okay to provide links to stolen content. And tech companies take legal action against infringers all the time, using the legal system, not by nuking the national and global infrastructure.
