The SOPA bill is meant to make copyright protections in the United States better, but there are several opponents of the bill. Some of these opponents have discovered that Congressional online connections have been used to download unlawfully obtained materials.
What is SOPA?
Copyright holders would really appreciate it if the Stop Online Piracy Act, or H.R. 3261, was passed. Released with the Shield IP Act, the bill would let individuals file copyright infringement claims. This would block search engines from showing the disputed content and would block online payment processors from working with the problem.
Several people point out that the First Amendment rights could be violated because of the bill. It would also reform the internet forever. The bill would make it so a company is not responsible for any damage claims if it was just attempting to enforce copyright protections.
House illegal installing
In the House of Representatives, there have been quite a few downloads found by torrent freak. There were 800 pieces of illegal content shown on You Have Downloaded including TV shows, movies, self-help books, and a ton of hardcore pornography. The list of self-help books integrated "Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High," and "How to Answer Hard Interview Questions And Everything Else You Need to Know to Get the Job You want." YouHaveDownloaded is a service that looks at torrent download history associated with IP addresses. It will give a general history, since it does not catch all of them. It is expected to record about 20 percent of all torrent downloads.
SOPA vote postponed
Congress is not in session, which means the vote on SOPA has been postponed. While Congress is gone, companies have been changing their minds about SOPA. For instance, GoDaddy, a domain-registration service, supported SOPA at first. Its customers were not very happy about that. It led to GoDaddy announcing that it does not support SOPA anymore.
