Boycotting SOPA Supporters is All or Nothing

I don't see any actual argument here. "If you're boycotting only some of these companies for supporting SOPA, you must boycott all of them"?

Not really... Boycotting GoDaddy made perfect sense: they are an internet company supporting legislation that would ruin the internet. Presumably they knew perfectly well what they were doing (considering this is the core of their business) and they needed to be shown that the world doesn't agree that it's okay.

Whereas I doubt L'Oreal executives knew or cared about this bill beyond someone promising them it would help their business to sign on the dotted line. Boycotting them would be an arbitrary self-righteous waste of time that could be spent pestering your representative -- which actually has a chance of making a difference.

SOPA is about controlling the flow of information. Just like large corporations now own media outlets and now influence their content, SOPA will do the same for the Internet. And with both media and Internet under control, the average citizen will know only what the corporations want us to know. Scary.

I know I can't deal without Advil and football this weekend. But I also can't deal with the potential loss of the Internet as we now know it. Don't want to be a hypocrite? Contact your congressmen instead.

Passing SOPA will be essentially allowing controls that the Chinese gov't imposes on their folks internet usage.

Did you move your domains off Go Daddy without throwing out your Marvel Comics, flushing your Viagra, and telling your kids that Toy Story is now on the banned viewing list?

The internet is fine as it is. You can't and won't stop people from infringing on copyright laws even if you have this silly bill pass.
