Rackspace: SOPA "Is a Deeply Flawed Piece of Legislation"

hypnosec writes "Cloud-based hosting service provider Rackspace has joined the ever expanding list of companies that are opposed to the U.S. Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). In a blog post, Rackspace CEO Lanham Napier said that the controversial bill, which will get its final vote before the House Judiciary Committee, will do more harm than good, punishing innocent users in the process. 'The SOPA bill, as it stands, is a deeply flawed piece of legislation. It is bad for anyone who uses the Internet, including Rackspace, the more than 160,000 business customers that we serve, and the tens of millions of retail customers that they serve. It is bad for job creation and innovation,' Napier wrote."

    On the bright side, you could always get someone worse.

    Yeah, the government and the studios don't care, but the public does. If the internet is shut down, Americans can't get their porn. And if Americans can't get their porn, they'll bring out their guns.
