Unhappy Birthday Universal - An ISP that supports censorship

SOPA and PIPA were the internet censorship bills, in the US House and Senate respectively, that sparked huge protests around the globe. All the technology/internet companies aligned against the bills, with a few small exceptions. The most notable? Comcast - the ISP that had alienated enough customers already, or so it seemed! Cries that the two bills would "break the internet" didn't seem to bother Comcast in the slightest. Of course, why would they? Comcast already has no gripes with breaking the internet for its customers anyway.
