Some organizations have not been updated[edit]

Graphic Artist Guild(GAG) withdrew support in December 2011. https://www.graphicartistsguild.org/sopa/ Paffa (talk) 21:24, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Source for possible expansion[edit]

There are other orgs besides those on Lamar's list. See [1], the "Who supports SOPA?" section. Including all 400 of those is probably not very useful, but there may be some notable ones in there. ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 19:44, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of Organizations Opposing SOPA[edit]

The list of organizations in opposition to SOPA appears thin. From what I have read, there is a plethora of organizations that have publicly come out against it.

Here a couple of lists of such:

- http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/22/over-40-internet-companies-have-come-out-publicly-against-sopa/

- https://www.cdt.org/report/list-organizations-and-individuals-opposing-sopa

Would anyone be willing to add these to the opposition list? If none do so, I will at some point. Thank you.

The BMI link currently links to a disambiguation page, could this be clarified? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.192.244.115 (talk) 07:13, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've expanded the list, but I'm sure there are many more organizations opposing that could be listed. I fixed disambig problems.--¿3family6 contribs 14:27, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Missing companies?[edit]

What about Peavey and Fender? I saw them listed on other sites, was it false info I got? --Dexter_prog (talk · contribs · count) @ 01:16, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They might well have, I keep finding stuff. Coverage in reliable sources, or if it is a notable organization, a statement by that organization, is all that is needed. My method is look for mentions of an organization, then Google search for further info. I'll check these two out.--¿3family6 contribs 03:14, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't find much, but I'm sure the info is out there. The problem with this article is that it needs to distinguish between supporters who actually sponsored the bill, and those who just acknowledged support. This article should also be expanded to include PIPA.--¿3family6 contribs 03:17, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia[edit]

Why do we have to put Wikipedia (community) instead of just Wikipedia? The Foundation's stand on this matter is pretty clear. --Ben.MQ (talk) 13:18, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it may be to clarify that it is the organization running Wikipedia that is opposed, not the actual content. But I agree. It would probably be better to put Wikipedia/Wikimedia Foundation.--¿3family6 contribs 14:11, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would prefer it were simply "Wikimedia Foundation". Given its nature, I don't see how the Wikipedia Community can take an "official" stance on anything. —WFC— 06:05, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But most of news coverage simply says "Wikipedia."--¿3family6 contribs 13:56, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Wikipedia" is not an organization. It is a WMF publication. WMF is a corporation, so it should be listed. 68.173.113.106 (talk) 02:58, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
