What is SOPA? Spanish soup- yes. But SOPA stands for the Stop Online Piracy Act. SOPA's sister, PIPA, is not related to Prince William's wife. It stands for the Protect IP Act.
Imagine what life would be life without websites like Google and Wikipedia. Yesterday, January 18th, there was an internet black out when many sites chose to protest these two acts. Wikipedia SHUT DOWN for the entire day.
Read up on the information and be informed because this affects you. I tried to gather as much unbiased information as possible for you to educate yourself. Wether you support the Acts or not is not what I care about. I expect that you will become informed about the details that affect YOUR LIFE.
Read the following articles and watch the clips below. We will then have a discussion for and against the Acts.
