The SOPA Act: No Pirate’s Life for Me
How do you listen to music, or watch movies and television? In this digital age the most likely answer is the Internet. The Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, is a bill currently considered by Congress that gives the United States Attorney General the authority to target foreign and domestic entities (mainly websites) that pirate copyrighted material like movies, TV shows and music. If enacted, the bill would authorize U.S. entities to shut down these websites, which is a far leap beyond simply requesting that the content be removed.
