  • CISPA Sponsor Tweets, Then Deletes, About How Much More Lobbying Dollars Have Come From Pro-CISPA Groups

    Why is it that DLA Piper is NEVER mentioned in articles about CISPA? I'm beginning to think it's some kind of conspiracy that one of the largest law/lobbying firms in the world, that just happens to be lobbying for CISPA, makes it their business to keep their name out of the headlines.

    If you've seen that awful movie 'The Firm', THAT is DLA Piper. So where are they in the news? Nowhere.

    Sunlight, the source listed for this article, lists their activity.

    But it doesn't even come close to matching the activity on THIS.

    So, are reporters just THAT lazy or is there conspiracy?
