remain a bit amazed that it’s become an indisputable premise in Washington that there’s an enormous piracy problem, that it’s having a devastating impact on US content industries, and that <em>some</em> kind of aggressive new legislation is needed <em>tout suite</em> to stanch the bleeding. Despite the fact that the Government Accountability Office <a href="http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-10-423">recently concluded</a> that it is “difficult, if not impossible, to quantify the net effect of counterfeiting and piracy on the economy as a whole,” our legislative class has somehow determined that—among all the dire challenges now facing the United States—<em>this</em> is an urgent priority.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/01/sopa-piracy-costs/">Read more &#8230;</a></p>http://brentsoderberg.com/post/16094943089http://brentsoderberg.com/post/16094943089Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:34:27 -0500sopapolitics<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly01dfZ4H51qzmsejo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.sharethrough.com">Sharethrough</a> looked at 2011′s lineup of Super Bowl ads and identified which commercials got the most views and engagements. <a href="http://mashable.com/2012/01/18/super-bowl-ads-shared-the-most/">Full story at Mashable …</a></p> <p>The NFL will be running an ad this year during the Super Bowl promoting a fantasy sports game that my company <a href="http://www.sportstechinc.com">Sports Technologies</a> will be developing.  It will be interesting to see how many people sign up to be notified about the game because of the Super Bowl commercial.</p>http://brentsoderberg.com/post/16062301168http://brentsoderberg.com/post/16062301168Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:53:39 -0500advertisingsuper bowlinfographicmedia“It’s not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference.”<br/><br/> - <em>Bear Bryant</em>http://brentsoderberg.com/post/16061598313http://brentsoderberg.com/post/16061598313Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:25:43 -0500inspirationquotes
