SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), which was introduced last month in the House to make allegedly copyright-infringing Web sites, sometimes called “rogue” Web sites disappear from the Internet, arouses many criticisms and protests. The web community is currently in a worried upheaval over SOPA, which threatens to create an Internet blacklist that operates at the DNS level in an injudicious attempt to control piracy. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Zynga, and other giant Web companies have joined to oppose the bill.
They sent a letter last night to key members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, saying SOPA, “pose[s] a serious risk to our industry’s continued track record of innovation and job creation, as well as to our nation’s cybersecurity.” Moreover, the tech giants write on the letter that the act would “undermine the effective mechanism Congress enacted in the Digital Millenium [sic] Copyright ACT (DMCA) to provide a safe harbor for Internet companies that act in good faith to remove infringing content from their sites.” Google will be the only rebellious voice, a tactic that may allow SOPA’s supporters to characterize corporate opposition as limited, especially because the Mountain View, Calif., company has been trapped in so many copyright battles of its own.
