PIPA and SOPA are both U.S. Government Law’s for stopping the Online Piracy which includes, Software, Music, Movies, anything.. The big companies like Google and Mozilla once supported this ACT's.. But now they are standing against them.... They want that this Bills never get passed...
E N D
Small Introduction • It is about the website(Named as Reddit.com), which becames the No. 1 Social bookmarking website in the Year of 2011. Now many of you must be thinking that Why such big sites are taking serious, shutdown actions about SOPA and PIPA Acts.. So Let me introduce you about these two terms. • I think many people over here are not aware of PIPA and SOPA... • PIPA and SOPA are both U.S. Government Law’s for stopping the Online Piracy which includes, Software, Music, Movies, anything.. The big companies like Google and Mozilla once supported this ACT's.. But now they are standing against them.... They want that this Bills never get passed... • PIPA stands for Protect IP Act • SOPA stands for Stop Online Piracy Act
PIPA – Protect IP Act • PIPA Actually PIPA is the OLD U.S. Law which served by U.S. Senate on May 2011. • The main threat about this act is.. If it is passed then U.S. government will get the right to Sue any website(New or Old; that will not matter); if the found any Copyright issue on particular website. • PIPA Includes : • If U.S. Government found any Copyright infringement on any website, they can force U.S. Internet providers to block access to websites. • Seek legal action by suing search engines, blog sites, directories, or any site in general to have the black listed sites removed from their website • Will be able to force advertising services on infringing websites, and those supporting of them, to remove them from their advertising accounts • Companies will also have the power to sue any new websites that get started after this bill is passed, if they believe that they are not doing a good job of preventing infringement on your website
SOPA – Stop Online Piracy Act • SOPA is similarly like PIPA.... SOPA was introduced on October 2011 • SOPA Includes : • The U.S. Attorney General can now seek a court order that would force search engines, advertisers, DNS providers, servers, and payment processors from having any contact with allegedly infringing websites • It will allow private corporations to create their own personal hit lists composed of websites they feel are breaking their copyright policies, ironically this doesn’t have any odd feelings of a legal mafia at all. These companies will be able to directly contact a website’s payment processors a notice to cut all off payment involvement with the targeted website. This payment processors and website of question will then have five days to act before it is simply taken down. • Payment processors will have the power to cut off any website they work with, as long as they can provide a strong reason of why they believe this site is violating copyrights
Facts – SOPA & PIPA • Many big companies like Apple, Microsoft, IBM, Adobe and etc. are already supporting BSA(Business Software Alliance), which directly comes under U.S. Government. • Still the Big Brands, Google and Mozilla are standing against this laws... • I know, that you are thinking that...why GoogleandMozillaare worrying about.. • Please refer next Slide for this…
Google – No Support to SOPA/PIPA • "Why Google not Supporting???"... • 1) US Traffic Blocked • 2) AD REVENUE Blocked • 3) Search Traffic Blocked • Now Many of you must be thinking why MOZILLA Then... Right?
Mozzila – No Support to SOPA/PIPA • Mozilla is the strongly standing against this law, because of the DNS Filtering(IP Fluctuation - PIPA Act) Issue... • Mozilla believes that by using DNS filtering this will open up more security risks and slow down the system’s up and coming extension DNSSEC.
How it will affect us? • As we all know that which thing in Internet World is Most Popular??? • That’s Blog and Bloggers!!! Right? • It means U.S. Government will keep eye on Blogs that which kind of content they are publishing. • These Acts make it the blog owners responsibility for everything that is displayed on their site, including the comments of visitors. • It means.. If you are going to put any Article and if you put any company Logo without its Company permission then may be your websites will have to go under SOPA and PIPA Acts
Say GoodBye! To Innovation • These acts are stopping developers from coming up with the next big thing in the online market that could change how we use the internet. • Let’s say that these acts were around back when the internet was started, how many of the most popular sites would still have come into fruition. • There would be no Facebook, YouTube, MediaFire, SoundCloud, Twitter, DropBox, or any other site that can be targeted as a place where online piracy could take place. • Is it even possible to think about what the internet would be like without sites like this?
Clear Idea • If you are thinking that How Facebook or Youtube kind of sites will get blocked then let me give you an Example… • Take an example of Youtube… Youtube will stop giving permission from record Label songs upload on their website. • As you all know that in Youtube, Many times we see that many people sing one song in different styles… but now after SOPA and PIPA if that song is copyrighted or the Music Industry put that song under Copyright then it will create issue for everyone. From website to that Person. • However will that be a problem for the record execs? • The site the person will have posted the video on will be put under pressure to resolve this issue, or face their site being put on the blacklist. • That person and his family, could also very well face legal action with either the site or the record label the song that was sung has copyrighted.
U.S. Government • As U.S. Government applying this Law only for United States at start. • U.S. Government are not only concern about the things that how these Acts will work out in America.. they are hoping that they will have the influence to get other nations to follow suit with these acts passing. • That means if these acts pass, then our country will also come forward.. To take such kind of actions…
Call your State Senators • This is the most important thing anyone can do, because this is how your voice can be heard in the process. It is the Senators duty as an elected official to do what is right by, and listen to the will of the people who elected them. If they don’t hear the input from the people, then they’ll have no idea of how anyone feels.Americancensorship.org has a great tool that will help you find who your Senators are, their contact numbers, and get you right in touch with them. They also inform you of speaking points to mention in your conversation before calling. • http://americancensorship.org/modal/call-form-moz.html • Otherwise, You don’t have to be a U.S. citizen to take charge here, online petitions is a great way to get a global reach on how people feel. The most important thing is that everyone is heard, in any shape or form. • http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_the_internet/?cl=1425589399
