umm..you do realize that the companies i listed arent apart of the united states chamber of commerce (though some of the companie's members are affiliated with the org)...and from what i understand the chamber of commerce didnt even put up the most money Time Warner did (regarding SOPA) and once again i'm not talking about one companies (or org in this case) i'm talking about all of them as a whole...from what i understand even if the chambers of commerce didnt put up money, they would have still been over the 100million dollars they spent in 2010.

but the amount of money you mentioned does not make any sense and is wrong on so many levels. and the number of companies does not matter the amount of money matters. im not even sure WB lobby themselves since all the big companies use MPAA to lobby this kinda stuff

this is wrong on so many levels every single source says that internet companies spent 90 mill to lobby in 2011 and entertainment industry spent 90 in 2011 and a little over 100 in 2008, 2009 and 2010 but the internet companies have more or less matched them dollar for dollar every year for the past 4 years. also you need to keep in my mind that lobbying does not equal lobbying for copy right laws.
