The fight over SOPA is generally seen as a major clash between Hollywood
and old media, and Silicon Valley. The backers of the legislation include
the Motion Picture Association of America (the MPAA), the major movie
studios and television networks, most major book publishers and several
ISPs. They say that without the legislation at least 2.2 million industry
jobs would be at risk.

Twitter, Yahoo! and several others have publicly come out against the
legislation. Certain companies, such as Google, have spent a great deal on
lobbying against they bill. They say the legislation would turn the
Internet into a police state.
