Its amusing to me to see the tech industry continue to play the underdog card. "We don't need anyone's permission (not when we have the full backing of Wall Street, the advertising industry, and some of the most profitable corporations in the world)."<p>You saw this with SOPA and PIPA. A "grassroots" movement, supported by a slate of tech companies, some of which are by themselves comparable in size to all of Hollywood.[1] I support the position, I support the underlying message, but I find the pretense rather silly.<p>[1] Global Hollywood box office and DVD revenues are about $90 billion (<a href="http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2012/how-much-does-hollywood-earn" rel="nofollow">http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2012/how-much-does-hol...</a>). Microsoft, Amazon, and Google are listed as opposing SOPA, and are each in the $50-$80 billion range. Apple, which stayed neutral on SOPA but is usually more aligned with the content distributors than the content producers, is about twice the size of Hollywood at $170 billion.
