This Bill Seriously Screws with the Internet
*from http://publicknowledge.org/tag/sopa*
House Bill 3261, The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), or #SOPA on Twitter ,and its cousin in the Senate, S.968, the “Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act,” or the PROTECT IP Act, commonly known as “#PIPA” or #ProtectIP on Twitter targets websites that distribute infringing materials by having the Department of Justice block those websites. The bill has already passed out of committee and is primed for consideration by the full Senate. What does this mean? PIPA is much farther along in the process than its House cousin the “Stop Online Piracy Act,” or SOPA.
