What is SOPA exactly?
House Bill 3261, The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), or #SOPA on Twitter,and its cousin in the Senate S. 968 the "Protect IP Act" or #pipa / #ProtectIP on Twitter seek to target websites that allegidly distribute copyright infringing materials by having the Department of Justice (DoJ) block those websites.

Why SOPA is a bad thing:
- By short-circuiting the legal system, it gives rightsholders a fast-track to shutting down websites.
- By creating conflicts between "DNS" servers, it would make you more vulnerable to hackers, identity theft, and cyberattacks.
- By sanctioning government interference with the internet, it would make the internet more censored, akin to that of China and Syria.
