EA, Sony and Nintendo withdraw SOPA support but not really

Sony Electronics, Nintendo and Elecronic Arts, which had previously thrown their weight behind the proposed legislation, are now all notably absent from the most recent list of SOPA supporters. Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Sony Music Entertainment and Sony Music Nashville remain on the list, which is unfortunate, but of greater concern is the continued presence of the Entertainment Software Association, the industry association which counts among its members Sony, Nintendo and EA. The support is still there, in other words, less direct and better camouflaged but still very much a part of the process pushing for the implementation of SOPA.

What? RIAA and MPAA supporting SOPA? who would have thought ...

Of course the article is full of derp, SOPA is just yet another attempt by the entertainment establishment to maintain their power ... the gaming industry apparently realized how pointless SOPA is for their interests and also how it actually be a hindered to then ... the ESA (not the European Space Agency) really wants to be like the RIAA and MPAA and always acted in the same way they did, the bad news of ESA is their members really dont give a fuck about it, its never been a cartel in the same way RIAA and MPAA are.
