Not only is Congress planning on passing a law that would give the government the power to shut down any website they don't like without a trial, the members of Congress voting on the law clearly don't understand what they're voting on.
SOPA is a bill that would give the government to shut down any website that is suspected of piracy. Without a hearing, without a trial. Gone.
Copyright is already weighted unfairly towards corporations. But this goes way too far, giving them the power to silence people they don't like, whether actually guilty of lawbreaking or not.
I'm glad my Senator, Ron Wyden, is opposing this bill. I hope yours is too. You can write them or call them to tell them to oppose it.
