SOPA and PIPA are slowly losing support, the protest yielded results

SOPA and PIPA are slowly losing support, the protest yielded results

Controversial U.S. anti-piracy laws, known by the acronyms SOPA and PIPA lost the support of eight members of Congress after major protests by the Internet community.

Support was denied, among others, by Marco Rubio of Florida, a rising star of the Republican Party, and his party colleague Roy Blunt of Missouri - who were among the signatories of the bills.

The free encyclopedia Wikipedia blocked its pages in English for 24 hours, and the blog service WordPress and the news service Reddit did the same. Google called on users to oppose censorship, and Firefox painted its front page black and put black tape over its mascot, the handcuffs. More than 7,000 sites joined the protest.

PIPA, the Protect Intellectual Property Act, had a good chance of being passed in the Senate, the upper house of Congress, but that is now uncertain since Rubio and Blunt announced that they are no longer behind it.

The SOPA proposal instructs Internet search engines not to publish foreign sites with pirated material in the search results.

Such a provision, however, is not found in the PIPA law.

Even if both laws go through the congressional procedure, they will probably be vetoed by US President Barack Obama.

By Administrator
Maybe you've heard from someone, or maybe just on this blog, about the word "Flagship" (in Serbian: flagship) phone, and you don't quite understand what that means.
