More on SOPA: RIAA CEO Hopes SOPA Protests Were a 'One-Time Thing'

From an Internet Evolution story by Nicole Ferraro:
To some, January 18th -- the day the Internet came together in protest of SOPA and PIPA -- was seen as a day of important democratic action. To others, like the RIAA's CEO Cary Sherman, it was seen as a great failure of the democratic system. An act of "demagoguery" rather than "democracy."

I suggest clicking on the link above and reading the whole story.

For those not familiar with RIAA it is, in their own words:
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is the trade organization that supports and promotes the creative and financial vitality of the major music companies. Its members are the music labels that comprise the most vibrant record industry in the world. RIAA® members create, manufacture and/or distribute approximately 85% of all legitimate recorded music produced and sold in the United States.
