Can you provide me a link where is says MS supports SOPA. I cant find them listed here in supporters section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act

Do you have a source for that info? A quick Google search turns up nothing on Microsoft's stance on SOPA.

It doesn't look like Microsoft is directly lobbying either way, but the Business Software Alliance has been lobbying heavily in favor, and Microsoft is often considered the dominant player in the BSA.

Microsoft's pro-PROTECT IP [1], though I don't think they've made a statement on SOPA yet. They are, though, as pointed out, a member of the BSA, which is very pro-SOPA.

It must sucks to be a bright hacker that work for Microsoft.

Don't you think people who ought to know better should be opposing this bill? If we could get Bill Gate on board, that would be great. I mean, he already have billion of dollars, why should he care about making more money?
