Default The Great SOPA Conspiracy
So who caused the problem of all the piracy on the internet?

Why...the very companies that are fighting to pass SOPA. Find out why:

It's also interesting that Forbes ran that video.

See the story here.

Terrible research. 5 minutes with google debunks the entire basis for the conspiracy theory.

Quote:
Originally founded in 1994 by Halsey Minor and Shelby Bonnie, it was the flagship brand of CNET Networks and became a brand of CBS Interactive through CNET Networks' acquisition in 2008
Partial acquisition in 2008. Not driven by CBS the entire way through like he tries to play it off. Spin happens on both sides. Find the truth, not just what sounds best.

Forbes didn't think it was a conspiracy, either.

That wasn't the point...the point is that the very companies that are fighting SOPA were the primary enablers.

Even with minor flaws in logic the guy brings up quite a few salient points...not the least of which is that SOPA is an endangerment to the internet. It will miserably fail at defeating online piracy (see Desopa for an example), and will make the internet much less secure.
