An End to the Internet As You Know It !!!

The American Government wants to pass a particularly unsettling bill. This bill, called the "Stop Online Piracy Act" (SOPA) is in talks for being passed as you read this article. What will SOPA do? Basically, it will outlaw any and all 'unauthorized content' from being streamed on the internet.

This bill would establish a system for taking down websites that the Justice Department determines to be dedicated to copyright infringement. The DoJ or the copyright owner would be able to commence a legal action against any site they deem to have "only limited purpose or use other than infringement," and the DoJ would be allowed to demand that search engines, social networking sites and domain name services block access to the targeted site. It would also make unauthorized web streaming of copyrighted content a felony with a possible penalty up to five years in prison. This bill combines two separate Senate bills -- S.968 and S.978 -- into one big House bill.

See the money trail behind this bill for more info on how campaign contributions may be influencing senators' and representatives' votes.
