I wonder if the Billboard Owners are large pro-SOPA media companies. IT would suck if this money went right back into the Pro-SOPA lobby.
A better strategy might be hacking the billboard system by buying up remnant space and cancelling after a month. Since it costs money to take down Billboards, and remnant boards are remnant for a reason, they will probably stay up for several months without paying for more than a month. (If they get PSA pricing, it will be even cheaper.)
Aren't ClearChannel and Viacom the two big billboard companies? That's just going by the logos I see at the bottom.
If so, you're right. This is money going right back into their pockets.
Though I know area around his San Antonio office might have some private billboards set up by local landowners in the area. He's right off a major highway. Maybe one of those is a possible choice?
Also, CBS, Van Wagner and others... More importantly, the amount of red tape you have to go through to get a billboard up is crazy, so I can't imagine every billboard company isn't in bed with the politicians.
