Summary of Colbert on SOPA by Paul
This short clip of from Colbert Report begins with Colbert saying that as a content provider he is "wholeheartedly against the infringement of copyright" and that he is so against it that he had that phrase copyrighted and put on a Mickey Mouse doll. He then goes on to seriously say that copyright infringement is a big deal and that the media loses 200-250 billion dollars a year according to the FBI. Then he shows where later in the same article the FBI says that it has no way of corroborating those sources, so he infers in the way that only Colbert can that the FBI bought the report bootlegged in Chinatown. Colbert likens piracy to J-walking and jokes about its seriousness. He then introduces the bill and its stipulations, before finally showing a clip of a bunch of little girls dancing to the song "Single Ladies" by Beyonce and joking about the potential to throw them in jail for such grievous offenses.
