Massive grassroots opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House is getting
big results.
Nintendo, Electronic Arts and Sony Electronics—some of the largest video game companies in the world—have all pulled their support for an online bill that could encourage censorship online, according to an updated list of supporters of the bill.
Those three companies all supported the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) when it first entered Congress, according to a report from Joystiq in November.
As the potentially disastrous unintended consequences of the bill have become more apparent, more companies are listening to their customers and withdrawing support.
