Facts & Controversy of SOPA - PIPA

2012-01-19T18:54:00.005+07:00

Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA), increasingly considered to be negative for large sites like Wikipedia are planning protests with the blackout, said Wednesday.

However, exactly what is meant by SOPA and PIPA?

Proclaimed PC World, Thursday (01/19/2012), the action stemmed from media companies who continue to find new ways to fight piracy. They tried to sue individually, separately requested internet service providers to take action against its customers, and cooperate with the government of the United States (U.S.), to close the US-based sites.

But among these actions, nothing can stop copyright piracy by sites outside the U.S., such as Pirate Bay and MegaUpload. It also can not prevent access to it by Internet users.

The bill SOPA in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the PIPA draft of the U.S. Senate, both targeting foreign sites that violate copyrights. The bill is generally associated with media piracy, but also can be applied to the treatment and consumer goods.

Initially, the draft law provides two methods to fight copyright infringement on foreign sites. In one method, the U.S. Justice Department may file a court order to make internet service providers to block sites that violate. For example, Comcast can prevent customers to access thepiratebay.org, although essentially an IP address can still be achieved. Terms of ISPs blocking so this is a major concern of internet security experts.

Such provision makes the copyright holder may request a court ordered payment services, advertisers and search engines to stop business with sites that infringe copyright. In other words, the copyright holder can request the withholding of funds obtained from the site of offenders, as well as remove links to such sites.

Although the bill board and senate were similar to each other, SOPA is the most extreme form in between. The bill defines a "foreign sites that violate" as situr perform or assist any copyright infringement. While PIPA limited to sites that are only used for copyright infringement.
