Despite widespread opposition to SOPA from bloggers on the left, http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sopa-hollywood-gop-piracy-286648
not sure i buy the envisioned future of republicans as ip reformers, but it is sort of interesting

I was fairly shocked when I read the 'for' and 'against' SOPA columns. For: Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Franken, etc. etc. etc. -- Against: Bachmann, Paul, Issa, etc -- tea party central. Not mainstream republicans like Boehner but all the radical right who are ready to drum up self-righteous anger at the drop of a hat. So the article you posted actually seems to have it right: MPAA assumed Republican support and spent all their time courting / buying off the Democrats, and by the time they started publically reprimanding Democrats for not staying bought off, it had actually become a full on political win for the right

this is kind of fascinating. i'm imagining a future republican party that's dominated by "real conservative" values of the sort that nonreligious conservatives love to tout: personal freedom, free enterprise, free internets, darwinian competition in all things, no handouts. opposed to this is a democratic party that advocates limited freedoms and federal oversight/assistance in the name of social justice and "decency", and which counts on the altruistic sympathies of religious leaders.

I believe that is the correct prediction for how the Third American Party System is going to be, just a matter of time for it to all play out. IMO we are in the death throes of the Second Party System.

i.e. the two main parties will basically be Libertarian-lite and Christian Democrat.

blech sorry, I didn't realize we were already up to the Fourth Party System so disregard my terminology... fucking poli-sci...

Were it so? In the Anglo-American two party system we still adhere to, the two poles must contain multitudes. The multitudes are shifting generationally but should I live another forty years I would love to see the attritional demise of the 'conservative' wing of the Right (they will be outnumbered ethnically for one thing) but I don't even pray that there will be a Christian Democrat party of any interest. The libertarians and Xtiansists have tried to square the circle w/the Gospel and Mammonism for long enough but it cannot last.

So as of today, RIP my most used shared-content site of the last half-year or so, library.nu. Also RIP ifile.it. Supposedly both casualties of an operation by a German association of publishers.

thinking of the Anti-SOPA contingent in the Tea Party; when Kirby pulls up an image of the aged Copyright Act of 1790, it really does strike me how this issue should go right across both party lines
