The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a United States Bill introduced by U.S. representative Lamar S.Smith (R-TX) to expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and cunterfeit goods. Provisions include the requesting of court orders to bar advertising networks and paymentsfacilities from conducting business from conducting business with infringing websites, and search engines from linking to the sites, and court orders requiring Internet Services providers to block access to the sites. the law would expand existing criminal laws to include unauthorized streaming of copyright content, imposing a maximum penalty of five years in prison. A similarity bill in the U.S. Senate is tittled the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA)
What is PIPA?
PIPA- Protect IP ACT was introduced by the United State. Senate on May 2011 by Senators Patrick Leahy. If PIPA is passed then the US corporation and the government will have the power to take legal action on any website that they see as enabling copyrights. They will also have the power to use search engines, blogs sites, directories. Companies will also have the power to use any website, if they believe that they are not doing any copyright job. these bills if passed sometimes good to the published who work hard and publish unique content but without copyright.
In Very Simple words, these are two bills which were proposed by US parliament to attack on websites that have copyright content and goods. Great this sounds good. but anyone have noticed if this bills have passed nnnnnnnnnthousands of websites and blogs owner which include such copyright content have been vanished completely with complete shutdown of their servers. Websites like Wikipedia, Google, Facebook web services would like have been attacked and stop indexing such sites and stop sending them traffic.
