What is SOPA
SOPA - Stop Online Piracy Act is a bill proposed by United State House of representatives by Lamar Smith on October 26 2011. SOPA if passed will allow the private corporations to create their own personal list composed of websites if they feel are breaking their copyright policies. These companies will be able to contact their website payment processor to stop all the payment involvement with the targeted website this payment processor will have five days to act before it is taken off.
What is PIPA
PIPA - Protect IP Act was introduced To the United state. Senate on May 2011 by Senators Patrick Leahy. If PIPA is passed than the US corporation & the government will have the power to take legal action on any website that they see as enabling copyrights. They will also have the power to sue search engines, blog sites, directories. Companies will also have the power to sue any website, if they believe that they are not doing any copyright job. These bills if passed are sometimes good to the published who work hard & publish unique content but without copyright.
In simple words, These are two bills which were proposed by US parliament to attack on websites that have copyright content and goods. Great this sounds good, but anyone have noticed if this bills have passed than thousands of website owners which include such copyright content have been vanished completely with complete shut down of their servers. websites like Wikipedia & Google web services would have been attacked & stop indexing such sites and stop sending them traffic.
