H.R. 3261, The "Stop Online Piracy Act", or #SOPA would have allowed the government to "suspend operation of, and lock, the domain name" of websites "dedicated to infringing activity."
There are a number of serious issues with the way PIPA and SOPA try to tackle the legitimate concern of websites that infringe copyright:
- No one favors the theft of intellectual property.
- They sweep in every site that includes links, not just the "worst of the worst."
- They include a private right of action with few protections from abuse.
- PIPA removes innovators' ability to fight back when incumbents threaten intermediaries.
- DNS blocking sanctions government interference with the internet, making the internet more censored, akin to that of China and Syria.

[description] => This bill, H.R. 3261, or "The Stop Online Piracy Act" (SOPA), is supposed to curb infringing websites by allowing the Department of Justice to block them, but—to add insult to injury—it doesn't even do that effectively. But don't even consider talking about the easy work-arounds, because the government can go after you for that.
Bellow you will find resources on how you can take action as well as our latest blog posts and analysis on the issue.
