Yes, Pelosi coming out against it is interesting. She's the democrats leader in the house, which means she pulls some actual weight and could get this stopped. No offense to Ron Paul, but all he really does is run for president and lose. Pelosi is someone who can crack the whips and get people to vote with her.
Of course, the Republicans are in charge of the House right now, and her support could actually galvanize them to vote against her.
It's just interesting, though - she's the first powerful politician I've seen to come out against SOPA, which is promising. Maybe more are coming. She's also from California, which I figured were all owned by the MPAA/Hollywood. Maybe the tech companies are bigger money in San Fran.
