URGENT

             
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), also known as H.R.3261, is a bill that was introduced in the United States on October 26, 2011. The bill expands the ability of U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted Intellectual Property and counterfeit goods. The bill would authorize the U.S. Department of Justice to seek court orders against websites outside U.S. jurisdiction accused of infringing on copyrights, or of enabling or facilitating copyright infringement.

After delivering a court order, the U.S. Attoerney General (AG) could require US-directed Internet service providers, ad networks such as Google and payment processors such as Paypal or Visa to suspend doing business with sites found to infringe on federal criminal intellectual property laws and take "technically feasible and reasonable measures" to prevent access to the infringing site. The AG could also bar Search Engines from displaying links to the sites.

Under SOPA's provisions, service providers (including hosting services) would be under new pressure to monitor and police their users’ activities. While PROTECT-IP targeted sites “dedicated to infringing activities,” SOPA targets websites that simply don’t do enough to track and police infringement (and it is not at all clear what would be enough). And it creates new powers to shut down folks who provide tools to help users get access to the Internet the rest of the world sees (not just the “U.S. authorized version”).

So long-short story, if this law passed, this is what happens next:
1. it will give a lot of pressure to Hosting-web like MediaFire, Megaupload, etc (I guarantee you will find a lot of links will be removed n watch-over)
we still have torrents
2. A deadly blow for anime-sharing webs that the server is in U.S (remember DMCA n Funi?)
no, I don't remember anything
3. A heavy damage to anime fansubber groups (should I explain it? Doing licensed anime n spread it freely, is kinda stepped copyrights)
gg never sub licensed anime
4. No anime = Boring life (except you can watch RAWs).
No anime? there's still CraneVN (since the word Anime is banned)

And what should we do to stop it?
Sign this petition through the whitehouse.gov to Amend the constitution, making the internet an unalienable right. Your government is trying to censor the internet.. have fun changing it after its done. Remember, a democracy doesn't work if you don't voice your opinion.
