I saw that after you mentioned the evil, I initially thought you were answering his question directly as an example. Keep in mind this was before your edit with the additional information too.

Anyway, my main point was lobbying by an entire industry to stop piracy isn't evil and that it was the whole industry and not Sony specifically though they seem to get the brunt of it. SOPA itself wasn't "evil" for trying to stop piracy (if anything I consider piracy "evil" if anything has to be defined as such, though I know people have their reasons for it too) what was wrong with SOPA was that it was poorly written and stupidly vague which didn't get public backing, that's why many companies withdrew support after the draft bill. What's strange to see is that Sony withdrew support for SOPA yet others, which includes the "Big 3", didn't. It also invested the least in that bill as part of the big 3 (the big 3 media and entertainment conglomerates run most of the industry, in the recording industry they were known as the big 4 until Universal bought EMI) yet they still bear the brunt for having initially lobbied to stop piracy. Universal and Time Warner hardly get a mention and they supported it till the end. I just don't see why, perhaps those who get enraged by it like their comic book movies too much for harsh words or a boycott.
