CWIZO,

Unfortunately many democrats live in areas where the Movie, recording industry is located...therefore they get lots of $$ from them. Thus the widespread support from both dems and republicans.

This depresses me even more:

Obama got almost $9 million from the Movie industry. I would suspect he would not veto it.

Makes you wonder how much worse things are going to get with the introduction of SuperPACs.

Exactly. Just imagine the cash flowing from the Movie/Music industry directly in their pockets. With that happening I don't see how it can be stopped. They will just keep trying.

I also think that instead of backing down from supporting legislature like SOPA in the future with all the backlash, they'll just stop supporting it publically.
