PIPA & SOPA



Most people in today’s generation have their lives tied with the internet. They spend most hours of their days surfing and interacting in file sharing and social internet sites. Imagine people’s life if there are none of these. Many would go to a revolution if specific sites would be blocked.
The U.S government proposed a law that wants to block internet sites that, The Protect IP Act (PIPA) and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). These proposed laws want to fight piracy and counterfeit goods. Websites cannot avoid pirated products or files that are uploaded on them because users of these websites have many copies that they can easily spread anywhere. These Two bills cause many bad effects on the society. These bills go against the people’s freedom of speech, if they block file sharing and social internet sites, many would become angry because they cannot share or propose whatever is on their minds.                                                                                                                                            

Some internet sites that the PIPA and the SOPA wants to block are Facebook, Youtube, and Google because these sites contain illegal files and sharing’s that users upload. These said sites have millions of users and subscribers around the world so if PIPA and SOPA blocked there site, millions of people will be against this acts. Most people already blogged about PIPA and SOPA, they want to stop the two bills. Many people are against these bills because it will affect their lives
