Petition started to force the ESA to withdrawl their support of SOPA / PIPA

[Qitz]

A petition has been created here [http://www.change.org/petitions/stop-the-esa-petition-and-boycott-e3] that is intended to force the ESA, the people behind the convention known as E3 and the lobbying "arm" of the Games Industry, to publicly pull its support from the SOPA / PIPA list.

It also asks that people write to game journalist and have them openly protest the upcoming E3, where the ESA makes most of its money, until they pull their support.

Let the ESA know that we, as gamers, do not want this garbage associated with us or destroying the things we enjoy.

I saw that last night.

Hopefully Jim and Yatzee and Razorfist see this. I know if Yatzee or jim gets on board with this (and I don't see why they wouldn't) then I think it'll really help the cause.

I suppose the question now is whether The Escapist will boycott E3 unless the ESA drops its support of SOPA/PIPA. There have been plenty of articles here about the bills, but I'm unsure if the site will go the extra distance.

a great initiative that will hurt the ESA where it counts
