Why the MPAA loves SOPA [INFOGRAPHIC]

At the core of the SOPA debate is the Motion Picture Association of America, more commonly known as the MPAA. This organization is one of the original proponents and supporters of the SOPA legislation, as it would legally give them the right to censor nearly every ‘copyright infringement’ on the internet that they feel would threaten them financially.

The MPAA actually has a long history of trying to threaten and control innovation and copyrights in the name of profit, and SOPA is merely the latest way they hope to accomplish it.

About Ryan Almodovar

Ryan Almodovar was born in Queens, NY, but was transplanted to Lancaster, PA – the heart of Amish country, at an early age. Growing up in a small city that is completely surrounded by fields has let him develop many interests, including jazz music, songwriting, short stories, and exploring the vast farmlands – simply because there wasn’t too much else to do there. A love of writing, thinking outside the box, and his Puerto Rican culture led him to a bachelor’s degree in Economics with a minor in Spanish from the Millersville University of Pennsylvania. Currently, Ryan is a mild-mannered banker during the day, and though he may claim to fight crime at night, you are most likely to find him relaxing by playing guitar, watching baseball games, or working on a novel that never seems to get finished. You can read more of Ryan’s work at his blog, Awkward and Dangerous.
