The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a Bill currently moving through congress. It's Online Censorship for the Wondrous Benefit of Glorious Nation of America. SOPA is currently hot fresh drama and is also the number one threat to your freedom as of now. Introduced into congress by a Texan fuck, the bill was quickly pushed through Congress at a rate rivaling the Patriot Act, helped along by biased hearings, congressional pockets being filled with gold and a good old fashioned media blackout rivaling the one at OWS. The gist of SOPA is if someone does not like your fair use, they can have you shut down; and online streaming, and any means possible to circumvent the bill is considered a felony. This means the end of your disk encryption, end of VPNs, end of 7 proxies. It will also mean the end of ED (IN AMERICA) because the bill also allows websites not located in the US to be blocked at the border if they are deemed offensive or guilty of Copyright Infringement.
