So, I'm a little worried about the upcoming SOPA and PIPA bills that congress with be voting on shortly. I'm also curious as to see, if they are passed that is, what the internet will be like after their enaction. Assuming that they are enforced as strictly as everybody speculates they will be, that is that if there is a single copywright infringement by even a single user on a website that the website will be taken down. This means that some of the largest and most trafficked sites such as YouTube, Facebook, even Blogger would be taken down. We can only hope that our politicians hear our voice and see Google's petition and understand how horrible this would be for the internet and even the economy. I'm not sure that all of these ancient politicians fully understand the internet and the implications this holds but hopefully they will soon enough before its too late.
