SOPA Bill, is it leaving a bitter taste?

     Whether or not the bill passes, has the damage already been done? Do you people feel the ripples in the water that this rock has left?

     Alright here is just a brief explanation of the Bill that those have not yet read up on.

     The SOPA Act also known as the Stop Online Privacy Piracy Act [SOPA] is a United States bill proposed to expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. It would also include the barring of advertising sites and payment sites from doing business with websites that include copyrighted content. Also it would severely cripple search engines due to the fact copyright content is on almost every website EVERYWHERE. The Bill would then force those search engines to block the [ISP] Internet Service Providers or websites that have copyright content.

     Honestly, You could argue back and forth, for or against this Bill. Either place your money on the fact that it might cut down on Internet theft and cyber crime, maybe. You could also place your bet on that this is just a way of tightening the noose around the necks of everyone who surfs the web or uploads content by any means. In theory its a way of policing the Internet. I would rather not get into it, but that basically sums it up.

    

     What I don't think most people see is the after effects. Whether or not it passes, the damage is already done. In a way it caries the same effects as the morning after binge drinking. No matter what you do at this point, the sour bitter taste is still left in your mouth. I believe it is a wrong idea to pass this, It goes against everything the US stands for; freedom of press, freedom of speech, and just what the Internet represents, pure freedom. The Internet, or the worldwide web Is exactly what it means. A web, in which we ALL are connected through. Its what brings us all together from different nations to chat or play games regardless of our nations politics.

          So what is the point of having ties, if all we ever do is try to sever them. . .

         Or maybe I'm just writing nonsense, Who am I to tell you to what to believe?
