Speculative Drama

I was reading a thread earlier on Reddit where some users had a great idea. Why not boycott the supporters of SOPA? Right now, whether SOPA gets passed or not is out of our hands and in the hands of lawmakers in Congress.

You can make a difference, if you have not yet — you can Help Save the Internet. After doing that, there isn’t much else to do, or is there?

I think this idea of boycotting supporters of SOPA is worthwhile. It can be done as convenient for you. When you have an alternative or choice when NOT to use a service provided by one of the organizations on this list below, please do so if you do not support SOPA.

Check out the list below, there are quiet a few names you will recognize and you won’t be surprised by a lot that are in support of the bill. This is the official list, provided by the House Judiciary Committee. I went ahead and bolded ones that I feel in my opinion, may be easier to boycott in our every days lives with little to no effort as long as you make conscious decisions.
