I was on BloombergTV talking SOPA today - how'd I do? • Hacker News Board

I love how everyone keeps asking where is the compromise from the tech industry. This bill is like someone saying "Hi Bob, this store you have here is great, but sometimes someone comes in and steals one of my products off your shelves and since you can't guarantee me that I will get paid for every one of my products that walks out the door I'm going to have to shut down your store until you can."

But, to answer your question; great job. Did you get the sense that she truly had any idea what would happen if SOPA/PIPA pass as they are written today?

Looking sharp. We're lucky to have a charismatic figure from our demographic who can articulate the issues that matter to us.

- From the outside-in perspective, you carry the impression of being a young, successful, and likable Silicon Valley entrepreneur.

- From the inside-out, you have the ultimate cred, not just for starting one of the most influential online communities but imbuing it with your distinctive ethos of caring, humor and nerd.

With these two identities, you're in the position to really help influence how the future is shaped.

Very good and articulate. Good job!

Thanks! Live TV is nerve-wracking.

Didn't get that impression at all from watching so well done
