"Senator Dodd", CEO of MPAA, Calls iBlackout a "Stunt", "Dangerous"

MPAA Press Release ^ | 01/17/2012 | Chris Dodd

[Glenn]

I didn't realize this was where Dodd wound up.

He is still a spin-master. My favorite spin:

designed to punish elected and administration officials who are working diligently to protect American jobs from foreign criminals

[Hoodat]

Christopher Dodd should be serving time in federal PMITA prison right now.

[Bobalu]

MPAA headquarters: You will never find a more loathsome hive of scum and villainy!

[OSHA]

It is also an abuse of power given the freedoms these companies enjoy in the marketplace today.

Sounds loke a threat to me.

[rfp1234]

Does that mean his buddy Barney will soon become CEO of the “Film Actors Guild”?

[Psycho_Bunny]

“A so-called “blackout” is yet another gimmick, albeit a dangerous one,”

I’m confused about how this worthless little dumbass concludes that the blacking out of Wikipedia and Demonoid - and a little black box over “Google” - is dangerous.

Somehow it must be I guess, because the moron says it twice.

[apillar]

I think the powers that be are starting to discover just how powerful the internet can be when it chooses to flex its muscle. I wouldn’t be surprised if they quickly moved to ban these types of online protests by fining major content providers if they take down their sites as part of a protest.

[transducer]

Like all Democrats, when Dodd says "work cooperatively together" he means "bend over and take it".

FUCD.

[kcat]

Ha! And Atlas Shrugged...

[BigSkyFreeper]

Hey Dodd? SOPA has nothing to do with piracy or copyright theft – it’s about the formal effort to mimic Communist China’s system of Internet censorship, and expand governmental control over it’s users, like the subservient peoples in the oppressed world.

[dead]

It's really funny how quiet the loudmouth celebrity contingent is on this issue.

Nary a word about 1st Amendment rights, or the horrors of censorship.

Silence. Brought to you by declining movie receipts and record sales.

Crushing the First Amendment isn't that bad, if it allows them to have a bigger pool at mansion number four.

[Rocky]

Whatever Dodd is for, I’m against.

[BigSkyFreeper]

And don’t think Obama cares about your right to free speech and expression online, he’s only opposed to the legislation because his poll numbers are tanking in an election year.

[tx_eggman]

find solutions to a problem that all now seem to agree is very real and damaging.

Hey Dodd, does Algore know you're stealing his lines?

[pyx]

The SOPA and PIPA are products of Chris Dodd, Democrat.

Hey Mommyment ! Keep your hands off the Internet.

[surely_you_jest]

If Dodd the Grifter is in favor of something, anything, I am opposed to it.

[yldstrk]

belittle your opposition

there is power in words and these devils know how to use it

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

It is an irresponsible response and a disservice to people who rely on them for information and use their services

Hey Dodd! It's "their services" like you said. "They", the companies involved, have every right to turn off "their" services whenever "they" want!

And THAT is the point of the protest. "They" are in control of "their" services. NOT YOU!

[BigSkyFreeper]

We don’t need SOPA/PIPA, we’ve already god the Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 1998 that covers piracy and theft of copyrighted material online.

[Neoliberalnot]

Hopefully, homowood will be slapped back into the sewer where they have been for the last 20 years. This just demonstrates the influence these degenerates have on internet freedom.
