7. SOPA – Stop Online Piracy Act
ü Under current practice, copyright owners such as TV networks
and Hollywood studios reach out to websites to request that
pirated videos be taken down. Under [SOPA], they could ask
banks, Internet service providers and domain name registrars to
stop doing business with websites that they believed were
devoted to piracy. They could, for instance, go straight to
YouTube's domain registration company and demand that the
entire YouTube website be taken down. And if the registrar
resisted, the copyright owners would have the legal ability to take
the registrar to court.
ü The bill would also allow the Department of Justice, acting on
behalf of aggrieved copyright holders, to perform domain name
system filtering -- essentially, blocking entire websites in the
name of preventing piracy.
FOR SOPA:
- Bose, CBS, Ford, MLB, NBA, NFL, Nike, Gibson, Peavey, Sony,
Time Warner, Viacom, Wal-Mart, Warner Music Group
AGAINST SOPA:
- Google, Facebook, ebay, Yahoo, Twitter, AOL
