Speaking of SOPA

With many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] killabeez for the link, I now give you a list of specific companies who support SOPA. It makes more sense to target them specifically and indefinitely until they withdraw their support, rather than to indiscriminately put off purchasing stuff for a month.

As such, I will not be supporting any of the companies on that list financially (to my knowledge, anyway, sometimes companies own other companies and you'd never know) until they withdraw their support.

I thought I heard they pulled the bill this morning... Am I wrong? Wouldn't be the first time

I had not heard that. I'll look into it. Thanks!

They are put on "indefinite hold" which is a very, very good thing.

I heard it on my local CBS radio at around 9am as I was leaving. Haven't checked the news since...

A little more investigation revealed that the list I posted is not completely up to date. I'm looking to see if I can find one from this week.

Thank you!

Of course! Be my guest.

My pleasure!

Thanks, I appreciate it, but even a partial list is better than none. :)

As far as I can tell, this list looks like the most currently accurate one. I'll keep digging.

\O/!!

The main problem with the list (which I appreciate) is that the supporters have some people by the short hairs: look at the number of drug companies on it and then think of what products those companies make.
