You might have heard about SOPA.

It’s a bill that looks good at first glance. It’s mission is to “stop piracy.”

But SOPA is also about censorship, limiting freedom, and losing liberty. That doesn’t sound good. There’s a reason WordPress, Google, and other internet giants are against SOPA and it’s sister bill, PIPA.

The bill would kill their sites, imprison their founders (and users), and stop the flow of information. Say goodbye to YouTube, Justin Bieber, and Wikipedia. If you’re a musician, covering another artist’s song will put you in jail. That seems a little harsh, doesn’t it.

Authors, piracy is not your enemy.

Here’s a video that explains SOPA.
