Torchlight Developer Says No to SOPA

"The question has been asked regarding our company's official position on the current SOPA/PIPA debate in Congress," said a Runic rep. "It is clear that the scope of the proposed legislation would give unnecessarily broad power to large corporations while reducing the rights of individual citizens -- and it won't even stop software piracy."

'It is not over unknown seas but back over well-known years that your quest must go; back to the bright strange things of infancy and the quick sun-drenched glimpses of magic that old scenes brought to wide young eyes.'

I think it's great that game development studios as businesses which "suffer" the most from piracy are deciding to stand against such censorship.
They, and any other company that decides to stand against SOPA will always have my respect.

Even though it's a bill for the USA it still affects the whole world as it's the internet that's in danger, and each and every statement against it is a step forward.
