The Stop Online Piracy Act

We all know the crime committed by people around the world everyday. Stealing, assaulting, car theft, underage drinking, fraud, prostitution, rape But what about crime on the Internet? Last year, SOPA (online piracy prevention law) was introduced all over the world. Once the bill is passed, many web sites will have to check certain information and delete a large amount of uploaded content. SOPA also celebrates the end of the torrent web site being used to share music, movies, video games, e-books and other digital files.

The US government proposed several solutions. Over the past few years, the US government began to take action to stop online piracy. These include CISPA (Network Intelligence Sharing Protection Act), SOPA (Online Piracy Influence Prevention Law), PIPA (Intellectual Property Protection Act). These actions have not been successful at the moment. According to USA Today, another way for people to try to prevent illegal copies is that Verizon, Time Warner Cable, AT & T, and other cable providers slowed down the radio speed of frequent visitors to illegally copied Web sites It is that. A series of hope is that on January 19, 2012, the US Department of Justice closed the file sharing website Mega Upload. This gives hope to us as it shows that the government is monitoring online piracy and that you can close the website as needed.

Advocates that strengthen the enforcement of intellectual property rights, such as the new 'Online Piracy Prevention Act' (SOPA) and the 'IPR Protection Law' proposed by Congress (PIPA) bills, online piracy I believe it is a big problem, US economic costs are between $ 200 and $ 200. It costs 250 billion dollars a year, and 750,000 jobs are lost in the United States. As explained by Cato Institute's Julian Sanchez, it is good news that the data is incorrect. In 2010, the Government Accountability Office announced a report stating that these numbers can not be confirmed, nor can it be traced back to the underlying data source and method.

In recent years, the online piracy prevention law (SOPA), which has been highly valued and frequently discussed, was adopted as an attempt to further manage the privacy of public media content by targeting copyright infringement. This bill was first proposed by Lamar S. Smith, Representative of the US Congress in October 2011. The general scope of the law is to achieve the purpose of preventing online piracy by expanding the current criminal law on copyright infringement. The basic goal of the law is to protect intellectual property of content creators by raising awareness of the significance of penalties for copyright infringement. Of course, the bill was strongly opposed by all parties. One example is Edward J article review.
