Re: industry giants say, \"Not so fast\"
[ QUOTE ]
To everyone saying why haven't the "giants" done anything until after the bill was passed, I'm guessing they were more or less caught with their pants down on this one.
They were not looking (correct me if I'm wrong) for the legislation to come in the form of an attached ammendment to other legislation.

Anytime the cash cow of your business is threatened, you don't sit around and make assumptions that the worse probably won't happen. You assume it can and will happen, then you make every effort to prevent that from happening. The fact that the industry giants or even 2+2 Publishing thought the bill was unlikely to pass or that it wouldn't pass at all led to inaction. Had they been vigorously involved from the outset instead basking in the glory of their coffers overflowing, having this bill be attached as an amendment would've gotten recognized and stuffed out a long time ago. It's no excuse. They all will suffer dearly for such incompetent inaction.
