Has any one seen this yet? blink.gif

A bill may pass through the the USA's congress to lock down and sue websites that breach copyright laws, like youtube, sound cloud and the like...
The bill is mostly there to support big corporations [of course], to make people watch and listen to their produce rather than through other means.

It is daft, and it will shut sites like us down...

What I don't understand is how the US government thinks it can control sites that are based outside the country. Isn't that invasive?

From what I've read, a lot of the hardware that keeps popular sites online is in the US and by shutting those servers down those sites would become inaccessible by the rest of the world aswell.

However, if the server hardware is on other countries they shouldn't really have a way of shutting a site down.

This could still be a threat for non-US based sites though, since the US makes such a law, other countries might follow their example.

Things are getting worse, and EA is in support.

I found this site dedicated to the PIPA/SOPA mess problem, and what to do.
