In case you haven't heard The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a bill being presented at congress. If it passes they will force search engines and domains to blacklist and block internet users from entering sites that have been accused (not convicted, just accused) of posting copyrighted content. The main sites in danger of closing down will be: Youtube, Craigslist, Ebay, Flickr, Tumblr, and much more. Some of the main companies supporting this bill are Disney and the Mpaa. This is a way for the government to control and censor the internet. A lot of jobs will be lost for people who have online businesses.
