What I should have said was, unless you work in the corrections industry, or the music recording industry, or are being paid a lot of money to support this bill, I can't see why any American would support it.
However, why is it impossible that someone here on NS supports SOPA? Not for the sake of trolling, but genuinely.
Maybe we have members who are prison guards, or who work for contractors that build prisons. SOPA will create more work for them, if it's passed. Many of these people have vehemently opposed efforts to decriminalize drugs, which makes a lot of sense when you consider how the War on Drugs has fueled the growth of our prison population.
We could have members who are recording artists, or who work for the music industry. They could argue that SOPA will protect income they have a right to.
Some lawyers might also support SOPA. It's understandable, that some would; again, it's their livelihood. I'd be very surprised if we don't have some lawyers here among us. My country, for one, certainly doesn't suffer from a shortage of lawyers.
