Countrywide Chris Dodd finds silver lining in China's censorhip regime

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2011/12/chris-dodd-finds-silver-lining-chinese-net-censorship/46026/

"Citing a more controversial practice, Dodd notes "When the Chinese told Google that they had to block sites or they couldn't do [business] in their country, they managed to figure out how to block sites."

Now why are we siding the way we are? What of librul Hollywood??

Both sides are the rich, the capitalist class.

People feel more that the tech industry will employ them than Hollywood? Hollywood claims it will lose jobs but most of us don't see ourselves employed there.

They claim they are losing money but how much? It appears this bill is to protect their copyrights. So how much are they losing via foreign pirates allowing us to get their stuff for nothing?

So, that makes Chris Dodd a supporter of communism, as I see it.

Chris Dodd is a communist... that's a new google bomb I'd like to see.
