Lobbyist: SOPA Blackout “An Abuse of Power”

Dodd, whose industry outspent the tech sector 13-1 in Congress, oddly called the political protest “an abuse of power.”

When internet users use the internet to say things which people like Chris Dodd do not agree with, it’s “an abuse” – when people like Chris Dodd try to prevent internet users from using the internet as they presently do, it’s “just business” – think about what that means for us so long as people like Chris Dodd can buy influence in Washington.
