> Salesforce joined Apple, Microsoft, and other tech giants last week in endorsing the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (CISA).

Is there a complete list of who endorsed this? Google is turning up very little.

I cannot find a complete list, but it has been endorsed by the BSA trade group. You can see a list of its members on WP [1]. Besides Microsoft and Apple, it also includes Adobe, Intel, IBM, Oracle, AVG, McAfee and Symantec (and others).

I've got quite a lot invested in Heroku, it's honestly really disappointing to see Salesforce do something like this. It's the responsibility of EVERYONE in the industry (especially larger tech companies) to take a stand against government, and help push for individual privacy.

I don't think I've heard the BSA mentioned since I was in college arguing with a teacher about how the BSA's piracy numbers were completely over inflated and made up.

The teacher used those number in her argument that piracy was literally the same as stealing a car, while admitting that even she did it.

It makes me depressed that major companies still support such an idiotic organization.

Why are the larger tech firms like Microsoft and Apple supporting CISA when they opposed previous incarnations of the bill like SOPA and PIPA?

SOPA and PIPA are not previous incarnations of CISA. CISA has nothing to do with SOPA and PIPA.
