STEAL THIS VIDEO AND HELP SAVE THE INTERNET.

I'm not in the USA but I felt this is something that needs to be brought up


Congress is trying to pass SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). It will censor the Internet, make websites where you can freely post content illegal and blocked by the government (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. will be shut down). Thousands of jobs in the computer and web industry will be lost, and online piracy will go through the roof as people will not want this bill in effect. It will be like the prohibition of the 21st century, or a "Digital Prohibition".

This bill not only contradicts the DMCA, the Copyright Act of 1976 regarding fair use, and the First Amendment regarding freedom of speech, but it defeats the purpose of them all. This bill violates our rights to freedom of speech, all forms of censorship hide the truth, and websites can already handle copyright infringement by removing infringing content, and ultimately banning the user if his/her actions are persistent.

This bill does no good, only harm. Help keep the web free and open for all, and help keep this bill from being passed by going to americancensorship.org
