MPAA chairman Chris Dodd expresses regret over pro-SOPA strategy, calls for compromise
“This thing was considered by many to be a slam dunk.” - Chris Dodd
Former Senator and current MPAA chairman Chris Dodd has acknowledged that SOPA and its Senate counterpart PIPA have an image problem. Dodd says that the bills were largely considered a “slam dunk” before the protests that culminated in a massive site blackout on Wednesday. After the protests had built momentum, however, “this was a whole new different game all of a sudden,” he said. While SOPA author Lamar Smith said last week that he was confident the bill would pass, Dodd now seems more interested in talking about the mistakes made than the chances of SOPA and PIPA succeeding.
