Oh Bernie—what hath thou done?
Corporations are people, according to the Supreme Court. That makes the publishers backing SOPA the Bernie Bernbaum’s of their industry.
Remember Bernie? He was the sleazy maladroit who lied and cheated his way to an ignoble end in Miller’s Crossing.
Here are 13 of the world’s biggest publishers supporting a bill that cripples the internet and installs legislation on par with Syria and China.
On one hand, they built their fortunes promoting the IP of authors. On the other, they back a bill that undermines basic civil freedoms. This isn’t irony. It’s sociopathy.
Bernie knew he was a wretch. I wonder if the management who signed onto this are equally self-aware.
