The internet generation is so naive. Techdirt posts that as if they've uncovered some great conspiracy. Dodd also said that in a CNN interview, it's not a secret.
Find me one piece of legislation that doesn't have lobbying or donation money attached to it and I'll give you a million dollars. Every single bill passed has lobbying money behind it.
Are Tech Dirt readers really so stupid that they think people contribute millions of dollars to political candidates just because they like them? Duh, it's to get something in return. A political contribution is an investment, it has always been that way.
You can oppose SOPA, but that article feels like it was written by a naive high school kid who is just learning about the real world for the first time.
I'm sure Tech Dirt was supporting the black out by Google and other companies. Do they realize that those companies lobby and buy politicians as well? Google buys politicians all around the world. How do you think they got into China, by being nice and offering a great product..lol.
