It's an interesting dig, that the bill - SOPA - actually stands for "Stop Online Piracy Act," while slashdot (and others) label it Stop Online
Privacy Act.

So possibly SOPA (Stop Online Privacy Act), a really stupid US Gvt law, may actually have industry fighting back:

Some of this started earlier when GoDaddy supported it, and a backlash started moving all their domains to other vendors (namecheap, primarily).
I wonder what internet civilians would think of this? Shock? Awe? .. or God the industry tycoons are way to big and we gotta regulate them harder?
Things are so bad that they are at least entertaining.
