The government is trying to pass H.R.3261 (the Stop Online Piracy Act or SOPA for short). This bill, if passed, would give any company the right to shut down an entire website simply because someone on it streamed copyrighted material. Also, under this bill, the person who streamed said material would actually be a FELON and could face up to five years in prison. Not only is this bill ineffective, it provides a means to censor the internet under the guise of copyright protection. Search links could be hidden, funding cut, and lawsuits filed against any website that streams, or is even suspected of streaming, copyrighted material. STOP THIS BILL BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
