SOPA- My View

As youmight be aware the American government is trying to pass an act called SOPA,which stands for Stop Online Piracy Act. SOPA is intended to clamp down on “rouge websites” such as piratebaywhich host illegal content.

But many people are saying this act could be thedeath of youtube because under this act you would not be able to post footageof games without the developer’s permission, and the same goes for song covers,it is for this reason I am against SOPA. I think that no country should not beallowed to”censor “the web, this act would mean the end of my youtube career asI have built a channel based on “lets plays “of games. Many big companies’ssuch as Google and Wikipedia are against SOPA, Wikipedia are temporarilyshutting down the site in protest against SOPA, Google will be displaying ananti SOPA message on their website in protest of SOPA as SOPA would censor Googlesearch engine results.  Facebook andyahoo have also expressed their opposition to SOPA by sending letters to keymembers of the American senate.   Let me know what you think of SOPA by leavinga comment or by tweeting @leatstechcorner , use the hash tag #leatstechcorner
