Re:Ask HN: why is Johnson & Johnson listed as supporting SOPA? by darth_static on Thursday December 29, 2011 @11:39PM (#3406617)
I believe it's because they (and many others on the second lists) emailed Congress supporting some sort of copyright protection laws, but didn't name SOPA directly, and then Congress (or some other shady org) had the cojones to put their names onto the support list. A similar thing happened with Gibson Guitars, story here: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111222/16384317175/gibson...

Right, but they're not on the support list any more. Perhaps this is my cue to remove them from the crowdsourced supporters list?
