The entertainment industry is horrible! You have all this collusion going on among companies, which then approach the US government, which accommodate their every whim. There should be instead, strong competition taking place among these companies. Can you imagine if companies in the computer industry relied heavily on lobbying rather than innovation, to adapt to changing conditions? That is why it is so vital that the Internet remains free of censorship. There must be avenues people can take, which circumvents how these companies wish to channel information.
It really irks me how Republicans are pushing the SOPA bill, when the Internet has played a vital role in their being able to circumvent old media, and get their information out there. Republicans specifically are fools for embracing a SOPA bill which will censor the Internet, because they will be among the bill's biggest casualties.
