Please use the share buttons below to inform more people about SOPA. And the companies that are backing it. Many of the companies in that list have nothing to do with internet. A shoe company? a wire company? You ever pirate a shoe before?????
A list of Sopa supporters was posted to Reddit this morning
It’s crazy the companies you see who support SOPA
I personal oppose Sopa because I want the legal right to write a legitimate review of companies good or bad without threat of being sued for using their name to inform everyone of their business.
SOPA
(For Info on Protect IP, visit http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-s968/money for now. I will try to incorporate this.)Also, it has been suggested that you should support organizations and companies that express concern with these bills. If you do patronize these organizations, you should let them know that you appreciate that they are opposed to SOPA and Protect IP. Otherwise, they’ll just think it’s a good season for business.
http://www.cdt.org/report/list-organizations-and-individuals-opposing-sopaOrganizations and companies that support SOPA sent this letter to congress.
http://www.theglobalipcenter.com/sites/default/files/pressreleases/letter-359.pdfStart boycotting these goods and services immediately and let these companies know that you will continue to do so until they actively withdraw support for SOPA.
Here’s links to contact info for each company. Try to make your message make sense. If you’re not a lawyer, don’t threaten to boycott a company that makes law practice software. It’s better to tell them that you’re disappointed in their decision to support SOPA and that you will tell anyone who will listen about their attack on free speech. Maybe even mention that you’ll tweet about it or post their decision on your Facebook page.
I recommend doing the following. Be polite, and call each of the companies. Here’s a sample script:
“Hi. I am calling because I found out that your company supports the Stop Online Piracy Act. This legislation is an attack on freedom of speech. I’ve decided to stop purchasing/watching/using your product/show/service until you actively withdraw support for the SOPA. I really enjoy your product/show/service, but I don’t want to support companies that support dangerous legislation. I plan to tweet and Facebook about your support of SOPA. Thank you for your time. Good bye.”
Writing hand written letters to these companies is also extremely effective.
