Shouldn't creative people support SOPA? Is SOPA really a war between creative people and analytical people?
Why? It's not like ripping creative people off through piracy/whatever isn't already illegal...

#12When I first saw the Al Gore headline I immediately thought of South Park and ManBearPig, but that made me think something like southpark (i.e a comedy that's not afraid to get a bit political) might be an excellent way to raise awareness of exactly this issue.
Shame the law will probably have passed by the time they make a new season.

But copyright enforcement needs to get stronger to give creative people a better chance of making a living from their creative work.

SOPA is severely limiting creative people. I mean how many of those started out editing some other youtube-video, performing a well-known song and putting it on the internet, just googling some images and throwing them together in a new way, etc...

Sopa isn't copyright enforcement, its so much more, it's all the weapons the content holders could ever wish for.
Plus there's a certain amount of inevitable piracy. But mostly it's the bought-out politicians who are just trying/lying too hard.

SOPA and the people who wrote it don't give a shit about creative people making more money out of it. This is all a move organized by the agencies, corporations, etc. who used to be essential for every creative to market himself and reach his target audience. The internet made them more or less obsolete and now they're fighting against it.
There are numerous examples of "creative people" making good money out of their work on the internet, without worrying about piracy too much.

Regardless of the motivation, one might expect that iOS developers for example would make more money with SOPA.
