I'm sure you went and watched Michael Bays Transformers and The Dark Knight though Dan. Take your example of SOPA, Sony dropped SOPA support after the draft bill. Yet all other content providers did not (nor any of their subsidiaries). Universal, Time-Warner, Viacom all backed it till the end.

Even with that still in mind people have no problem watching these content providers films, yet they will think twice about buying an electronic device from an unrelated subsidiary of a company who actually dropped SOPA support.

I just find it bizarre personally, especially when that unrelated subsidiary is quite independent. Although I tend to not hold grudges against any company so I may never understand it fully, I think a lot of people have not let that from the rootkit fiasco go. This despite the fact that they recalled all CDs from stores and exchanged all customer copies for versions which are completely DRM free. They are all DRM free now too so I don't see what's draconian.
