“ God knows how much money we’ve given to Obama and the Democrats and yet they’re not supporting our interests. There’s been no greater supporters of him than we’ve been from the first day and the first fundraisers continuing until he was elected. We all were pleased. And, at its heart institutionally, Hollywood supports the Democrats. Now we need the administration to support us. This is a very important time for Hollywood. The issue at hand — piracy — is a legitimate concern. But Google and those Internet guys have been swiftboating the entertainment industry by saying we’re trying to shut down the Internet just because we don’t want them to advertise pirated movies.”
Hollywood’s Obama Donors On President’s Piracy Stand: Not Give A Dime Anymore (via joshuanguyen)
I thought “swiftboating” was when you use a shitload of money to smear the other candidate with persuasive ads. I’ve seen no persuasive ads nor shitloads of money spent against SOPA/PIPA.
What I have seen are people. A shitload of people who are realizing their voices have power again.
