Following SOPA’s introduction to the House of Representatives, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce instantly released a statement praising the undertaken legislative action.
“Websites that blatantly steal the creativity and innovation of American industries violate a fundamental right to property,” said Thomas J. Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber. “Operators of rogue sites threaten American jobs, endanger consumer safety, and undermine the vitality of the online marketplace.”
According to the U.S Chamber of Commerce, “rogue” websites draw 53 billion visits annually.
