Tell Obama And Dodd: No Backroom Dealing, No New SOPA

They still just don't get it.  Chris Dodd -- the head of the Hollywood Lobby -- is bragging that he's working on a new insider deal to push through SOPA-like legislation.  

He had this exchange with the Hollywood Reporter this week:

THR: Are there conversations going on now? 

Dodd: I'm confident that's the case, but I'm not going to go into more detail because obviously if I do, it becomes counterproductive. 

THR: Did you feel personally blindsided by Obama over SOPA? 

Dodd: I'm not going to revisit the events of last winter. I'll only say to you that I'm confident he's using his good relationships in both communities to do exactly what you and I have been talking about.

This exchange comes days after the White House issued a report that urges a redoubling of efforts to crack down on piracy.

Hollywood and Obama should've learned:  No form of censorship will be acceptable to Internet users, and we're fed up with corrupt, back-room deals that are driven by the rich and well-connected.  Any major Internet policy changes should be negotiated in the light of day, so the millions of people who'd be affected can have their say too.

Please tell President Obama to reject Hollywood's backroom deals -- just add your name at right.

TO PRESIDENT OBAMA AND CHRIS DODD:  After the biggest outpouring of activism in the history of the Internet, it's appalling that Hollywood is back to its old insider ways.  No backroom deals -- and no new SOPA.  And any and all negotiations with Hollywood should take place in the light of day.

Just fill out the form at right to urge Obama to oppose Hollywood's insder dealings.  (We'll send the White House an email with the petition text.)
