Letter to Wal-Mart
I've always supported Wal-Mart. Anytime anyone is critical I'm the
guy who stands up and points out how much good Wal-Mart does in our
communities. How much they help to raise the standard of living of
so many different people. I was really upset when I found out that
Wal-Mart is sponsoring SOPA/PIPA legislation in the house and senate.
I've worked in the tech industry for over 15 years, I understand
the technical issues involved and I can assure you that they will
do nothing to slow piracy. The only thing they'll do is put small
business people like myself out of work as we are required to police
our sites for rogue links. This bill is a grave danger to our basic
freedom of speech, freedom of the press and our
pursuit of happiness. Losing all of these are ultimately a threat
to Wal-Mart's business model and to the great company I've known
and loved. Please let the corporate headquarters know that we don't
support these bills.
