Illegally acquired materials are extensively available online. The SOPA bill is meant to make these materials less obtainable, a fact that consumers of the Congressional web connection appear to be reacting to by downloading more unlawful material.

Facts about SOPA

With H.R. 3261, or the Stop Online Piracy Act, would let copyright holders file copyright infringement claims to block online payment processors and search engines when there has been a problem. It was introduced in the Senate with the Guard IP Act. This would be a fantastic bill for copyright holders.

Many people point out that the First Amendment rights might be violated due to the bill. It would also reform the internet forever. The bill would make it so a company is not responsible for any damage claims if it was just attempting to enforce copyright protections.

House unlawful installing

In the House of Representatives, there have been quite a few downloads found by torrent freak. There were 800 pieces of unlawful content shown on You Have Downloaded such as Television shows, films, self-help books, and a ton of hardcore pornography. The list of self-help books involved "Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High," and "How to Answer Hard Interview Questions And Anything Else You Have to Know to Get the Job You would like." YouHaveDownloaded is a service that looks at torrent download history associated with IP addresses. It will give a general history, since it does not catch all of them. It is expected to record about 20 percent of all torrent downloads.

Fewer members support SOPA

Congress is not in session, which means the vote on SOPA has been postponed. While Congress is gone, businesses have been changing their minds about SOPA. For example, GoDaddy, a domain-registration service, supported SOPA initially. Its consumers were not very happy about that. It led to GoDaddy announcing that it does not support SOPA anymore.
