It's airing live on the top of that site.

And yeah, it's pretty much going nowhere fast. I'd expect it to be tabled and sent to tomorrow.

This hearing has officially gone full retard.

The joke would probably be on them in the long run.

So damn sick of this shit. You can't control the internet. Get these old farts out of the office please.

Does anyone here actually know of any individuals who are for SOPA (besides the sponsors and other lobbyist-controlled politicians)? I don't mean corporations like Nintendo (who LOVES SOPA, sorry fanboys).

Unfortunately most people I've spoken to about it are completely unaware of it.

Of course once I explain it to them they get pissed about it, so I guess my answer to your question is no.

Entirely this.

The only individuals in support are the bigwigs at these big companies and the congresspersons they are paying off.
