Via TheHill.com:

Former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), now the head of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), on Tuesday pushed back at criticism his industry is backing an online piracy bill that would lead to censorship online.

Chris Dodd was once a beloved senator. Now he's a toadie. Let's see what kind of disingenuous statement he'll make today.

Hollywood is starting to realize that large swaths of the American population oppose SOPA, possibly due to the fact that nearly half of all Americans have admitted to illegally downloading at least one song or movie. In a desperate attempt to turn the public tide in their favor, Creative America, an astroturf group, has today launched an extensive advertising campaign in support of SOPA.

There is a devious new bill making the rounds in the legislature. It's called the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), or as it's known by its more freedom-hating name, the Internet Blacklist Bill. I don't want to waste much time describing it, so here are some links for your perusal.
