Protect IP…Understand (SOPA = Stop Online Piracy Act).

By: Williamsburg Military Insider

If you care about the Internet, free speech and personal freedom at all, you owe it to yourself to understand and oppose SOPA.❞ -from Mashable. (SOPA = Stop Online Piracy Act).

Check out this excellent, informative article on Mashable — SOPA and PIPA might be confusing to the masses, but we truly must step up and understand what the passing of these new laws would mean. SOPA and PIPA is the U….S. government’s attempt to protect piracy and intellectual property – with strong support from the entertainment industry. But it affects the every day user of the Internet and anyone with a website. It’s far too harsh and potentially turns regular people into criminals. Yes, we must do something to stop the piracy and copyright infringements… but SOPA is not the answer.

SOPA:

*Gives the government the right to unilaterally censor foreign websites.
*Gives copyright holders the right to issue economic takedowns and bring lawsuits against website owners and operators, if those websites have features that make it possible to post infringing content.
*Makes it a felony offense to post a copyrighted song or video.
