"10 million people contacted Congress, Wales said. “That’s not an abuse of power, that’s democracy. [Dodd] had best get used to it."

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, responding to MPAA chairman Christopher Dodd’s claim that SOPA blackout was “an abuse of power.” (via wilwheaton)

Show me one creative person, one person who creates something worth stealing, or more importantly, worth paying money to see, read, listen to, who is still worried about piracy. The people who push for this kind of legislation, who pay a lot of money to shoehorn this bullshit into law, are the people pushing papers around to make money from the labors of creative people. Why do we give a shit about what they think?
