SOPA Bill.

[NotedDerk]

I just read this article about the bill.

Good news everyone, the SOPA bill vote in the house just got cancelled today. It will return next year, but hopefully with better wording that will protect legitimate websites such as this one from abuse. By “abuse” I mean any company would have had the power to shut down a website if you reviewed a product of theirs simply because they didn’t like the review/rating/etc. Say NO to that. Protect our reviewer’s rights. Until the bill is reworded so that it can ONLY target piracy websites(Where as now it would allow any company to target almost anything), say NO.

But next year, Protect IP, another abusive bill, is up for vote. This bill, while not as threatening as SOPA, could be abused in almost the same way to have our favorite legitimate websites blocked, where they would no longer work by their domain name and cease to appear in search engines if targeted. It too needs rewording so that it can only target foreign over seas piracy websites.

I also read that this was a hoax and the next meeting was actually today, technically yesterday since it's thursday now, but nothing has been posted about an update towards that yet.
