In New York Times op-ed, RIAA CEO complains about SOPA/PIPA protests and commentaries

http://j.mp/zd5Q1z  (New York Times)

    "The hyperbolic mistruths, presented on the home pages of some of the
     world's most popular Web sites, amounted to an abuse of trust and a
     misuse of power. When Wikipedia and Google purport to be neutral
     sources of information, but then exploit their stature to present
     information that is not only not neutral but affirmatively incomplete
     and misleading, they are duping their users into accepting as truth
     what are merely self-serving political declarations."

It's hard to type while laughing.  Reading the head of the RIAA complaining
about what he claims are abuses of power tends to induce uncontrollable
fits of irony.
