SOPA
SOPA, stop online piracy act, is an anti-piracy bill qorking its way through congress. In fact, it was introduced by house Judiciary Committee Chair and Texas Republican Lamar Smith, along with 12 co-sponsors on October 26th of last year. The great difference between SOPA and all the other internet bills is that it will grant content creators extraordinary power over the internet. The intellectual property owners will have the ability to close any foreign site that they have against a copyright claim. In my opinion, SOPA won’t even succeed in reaching its goal, as this will demand closing many sites. Many anti-SOPA movements have been created and are now in a saturation point. Moreover, the list of SOPA supporting companies are shrinking, thanks to  the emails and phone calls they've received in the last few months.
