Here we bring a video that explains the content of this law that wants to pass the U.S. Senate.
The law is known as PROTECT IP Act (the Senate version of SOPA, the Internet censorship bill) ot Stop Online Piracy Act (jokes in Spanish would be very easy with these acronyms) Here’s more info. Below an abstract:
"...This legislation would give the government and corporations the ability to censor the net in the name of protecting creativity simply by convincing a judge that a site is “dedicated” to copyright infringement. PIPA would give the government and corporations the ability to shut down any site connected to an accused copyright infringer. Its companion legislation in the House, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), H.R. 3261, contains many similar problems, as well as threatening ordinary users with jail for streaming any copyrighted work - even just video of themselves singing a pop song... "
In Spain the Ley Sinde was very similar.
The phrase that sums all this is simple: How far will they take all this? It is obvious: As far as we'll let them.
Our sincere support! PLEASE SPREAD THE NEWS AND VIDEO.
