What are SOPA and PIPA?
SOPA and PIPA represent a couple of bills in the United States Household of Representatives as well as the United States Senate respectively. SOPA is short to your "Stop Online Piracy Act," and PIPA is an acronym to your "Protect IP Act." ("IP" stands for "intellectual property.") In short, these bills are efforts to stop copyright infringement committed by foreign web sites, but, in our opinion, they do so inside a way that definitely infringes free of charge expression though harming the Internet. Detailed details about these bills can be found in the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act articles on wikileaks, which are accessible during the blackout. GovTrack lets you follow each bills from your legislative process: SOPA on this page, and PIPA on this one. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit company dedicated to advocating to your public interest in the virtual realm, has summarized why these bills are merely unacceptable inside a globe that values an open, secure, and free of charge Internet.
