Riot Games CEO and co-founder Brandon "Ryze" Beck has posted on the League of Legends forum today stating Riot Games' position against the "Stop Online Piracy Act" better known as SOPA. In his official forum post he calls the bill "a misguided attempt to curb the illegal piracy of copyrighted content (like movies, music, and games)."

Stating that SOPA "goes far beyond simply addressing piracy" he discusses ways that this bill will effect League of Legend players like:

• Killing video game streaming.
• Threatening independent content creation.
• Attacks the League of Legends community.
• As well as other harmful effects.

He then invites everyone to help take a stand by writing your congressperson today and voicing your opposition to this misguided and harmful legislation. To read the entire post, be sure to check out the official League of Legends forums.
