I understand your confusion, but I wasn't talking about litigation. I believe that patent litigation is a flaw in the system that desperate companies will always use, and it's a system based on a sound principle that unfortunately is used to secure rights to too many obvious design choices that never should have been granted. It's not evil until it's abused. It IS abused, but for now I will leave to others to decide what patents should and should not have been given.

As to SOPA/lobbyism not being evil:

In my opinion, going outside of the official channels, using money directly as an influence on elected officials to change a working law outside of the elected officials official policies to improve profit is by itself evil. Lobbyism is inherently evil. It is borderline legalized corruption, and the very existence of it pushes our politicians and officials over the edge onto a slippery slope.

Furthermore, the shape and form of laws like SOPA/PIPA and the european equivalents form tools that is bad for mankind overall. To make money. This is evil.

Finally, that other corporations also do it, doesn't make the leading company less evil.

Mind you, I'm not going to defend piracy. But even today there is a perfectly working copyright law in most countries, that could and should be utilized against piracy, without turning to censorship, mass surveillance and removing citizens the right to internet access. Not only is the copyright laws fully operational, but the same lobby interests are changing them continuously, which is why no copyrighted work will ever fall into public domain for as long as you live. I quite understand the need to stop piracy. But the ways proposed are worse than the problem.
