As it currently stands, SOPA has 63 supporters, and 117 opponents. But what may surprise you very more is the stats on these people. Among the Democrats, 40 support it and 51 oppose it. That means that almost 2/3 of the people supporting SOPA are Democrats. I was simply shocked when I saw this number but I then realized. Who desires for SOPA to pass? The Movie industry. And who has the movie industry bought more? The Democrats. That is why there is always a claim that Hollywood is liberal. Therefore the film industry is using their pocket Democrats to push this bill. Among of the Republicans, 22 support it and 66 oppose it. Much better numbers than the Democrats. Not surprisingly, 26/63 supporters of SOPA have had over $50,000 of donations come from the media. Whereas only 5 of the opposing ones have over $50,000. It becomes quite clear that the mass media is pushing this legislation in order to give them more power and control over the movie industry.
