GOOGLE: Hollywood Is Trying To Secretly Censor The Internet.

Google is going after the major movie studios with guns blazing after learning of a secret legal campaign against it.

Kent Walker, Google’s general counsel, said in a blog post Thursday that he is “deeply concerned” about recent reports that the Motion Picture Association of America is leading a “secret, coordinated campaign” to revive the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act and block access to websites.

He noted that defending free expression is a founding principle of the MPAA. “Why, then, is it trying to secretly censor the Internet?” he asked.

The allegations are based on recent news reports and leaked Hollywood executive emails from the hack of Sony Pictures.

Kate Bedingfield, a spokeswoman for the MPAA, called the blog post “shameful,” and argued that free speech is not a “license to steal.”

The MPAA is a bunch of dishonest thugs, and I say — repeal the Hollywood Tax Cuts!
