An Android app that terrifies the politicans and corporations: Boycott SOPA

[Vehl]

18. I doubt Apple would allow it....given that Apple is part of the the BSA which supports SOPA.

Apple, Microsoft and some other major companies are part of the Business Software Alliance that is a major supporter/proponent of SOPA.

The App also lists Apple products supporters of SOPA. The only reason they have not implemented this is that as of now the app gets confused with the word "Apple" (as it can be applied to many products which have the apple fruit in them) The developer has stated that they will be soon releasing a new update to the app which will correctly identify Apple company products.
