SOPA and PIPA: Just the Facts
Jared Newman
In this article, columnist Jared Newman elaborates on the negative attention that the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act are receiving. Newman addresses what the bills intended to do: stop online piracy and halting copyright infringement internationally in the media, as well as counterfeit consumer goods and medication. These proposed bills would fight infringement by: requiring Internet services to block domain names, and requiring Internet services to halt associations with infringing websites. Many opponents of the bills believe that the alleged acts will provide little protection against false accusations. I believe that this article may be relevant to my research paper because it provides insight into what the bills would actually do if passed, and what the opposing sides' views are pertaining to the bills.
