Here we go people.
Without SOPA even being passed they obviously have the capability to shut down websites.
So that makes me wonder and ponder a bit, if they already have this power.
then what is SOPA exactly all about?
They're even going at the 'little guys' right now.
United States lawmakers insisted that the Stop Online Piracy Act was necessary to thwart copyright crimes on the World Wide Web. Even after the
bill was halted in Congress, however, federal agents have still found the way to shut down more than 300 websites recently.
Federal authorities have sacked a 28-year-old Michigan man for operating websites that they say illegally streamed professional sports games on the
Internet. Yonjo Quiroa of Comstock Park, Michigan in the United States was arrested on Wednesday by agents with the Homeland Security Investigations
unit.
They are charging him with one count of criminal infringement of a copyright for allegedly operating at least nine websites that offered unauthorized
Internet streams of live sporting events.
i think this quote pretty much sums up my thoughts.
Even without SOPA having been passed yet, the federal government always had tremendous power to do some of the things that they want to do. So if
this is what can occur without SOPA being passed, imagine what can occur after SOPA is passed,” Project PM founder Barrett Brown tells RT.
