EA supported SOPA, they want people to ONLY buy their games.... Selfish assholes.

The problem with SOPA wasn't that it would stop piracy; if there were was a way to do that without any possibility of some of the nasty side affects SOPA might have had, I think most people—myself included—would support it.
If people are going to spend countless hours creating something, whether it's a game or a movie or an image editor or anything else, why should they not have every right to ask money for it? And sure, you can argue that piracy is not stealing since the company doesn't actually lose anything, but does that also mean that it's okay to travel on a train without paying for a ticket? Or to hire a plumber and then refuse to pay them? Or to rape a prostitute?
Anyway, on topic: it took me longer to realise this was actually a bad thing than it did for me to realise it was an April Fools' joke.
