SOPA & PIPA
There have been a big issue in cyber in whole world since yesterday, January 18, 2012 regarding the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act). SOPA and PIPA are for the protection of copyrights of the owner to avoid piracy in the internet to simplify, they are for Anti-Online Piracy.
Basically, SOPA and PIPA are to protect copyright of the creators and obviously, there have been users who uploading illegal content and unauthorized files which is considered as criminality. Google and Wikipedia are one of the popular sites that protested against the censorship or anti-piracy legislation from the SOPA and PIPA that are aiming to stop online piracy on American intellectual property. If these acts passed, there's the fact we loose popular and useful sites such as Google, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and more. Based on our research, Facebook is also considered as one of the websites that provides piracy such an illegal uploads which is possibly to be block by the law.
On behalf of this issue, Facebook will close on March 15, 2012 is not true. Facebook is not going to shut down because of SOPA and PIPA on the said date. It is just a false rumor, an hoax, a fictional story that was delivered from "Weekly World News" which is impossible to happen. Most of the people who aware regarding the issue thinks that it has something to do with SOPA and PIPA, and the truth is, it is not. If Facebook closes, it is possibly because of the approved acts and not because of the reason said on the online tabloid site.
If Facebook will close because of the stress that Zuckerberg had been experiencing and the site is getting 'out of control' then why don't they just give us a notice directly from Facebook directly on their home page? Besides Facebook is also against the SOPA and PIPA act. Mark Zuckerberg says "Facebook takes online piracy and copyright infringement very seriously but we believe the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) and Stop Onlince Piracy Act (SOPA) are not the right solution" which obviously saying that they are not planning to close Facebook because of this acts.
The original version of this hoax was last year, March 15, 2011 which is just updated and brought out from the past to present time. So don't panic! We shouldn't focus on the "Facebook will shut down issue". We should focus more about the SOPA and PIPA because it could affect many sites since most of the popular sites these past few days are founded in America where the law enforcement is happening..
NO YAHOO + NO FACEBOOK + NO PICO = ?
NO YAHOO + NO BLOGSPOT =?
don't you think, we, the gamers can be affected as well?
Isn't Facebook and Ameba Pico has copyright?
Yes, Ameba Pico has copyright even Facebook as well. Any websites have copyright even the free websites where we make an account. Any Blog (ex. etoile-sisters.blogspot.com) from a copyrighted site (etoile-sisters.blogspot.com) can be copyrighted by the author. Just google the meaning of URL to understand more. Even a poem, music or tiny art can be copyrighted by the artist as long as you made it, you OWN it.
Piracy is happening, but copyright of the actual site doesn't have anything to do with the SOPA and PIPA because, they do not own the media files that are uploaded on their web by their users. Remember that SOPA/PIPA are for Anti-Online Piracy. Even if a site such as Facebook has their own copyright but the piracy is happening inside site or in other words, their users violates law, Facebook is supposed to be responsible to do an action. But if there is SOPA and PIPA they might be the one to do an action, the first move by sensoring Facebook and until we can't able to access it anymore. Means, no Ameba Pico.
Imagine if SOPA and PIPA are approved. Possibly, Youtube, Facebook , Twitter, Yahoo, Google or any sites where piracy is happening can be blocked. Even Blogspot which is under by Google can be affected. If these sites are blocked by the approved law, imagine how it could make the cyber world withered. Everything on Internet will be affected, ruined and destroyed.
I want to participate the protest against SOPA and PIPA

I'm letting everyone to know this issue because SOPA and PIPA is a big problem in cyber world and real life because it could also affect our virtual life. So we are hoping that you can join on protesting SOPA (which can be the cause of the popular website to be censored like it is banned) and PIPA (which can destroy internet) for the future of the cyber world.
PLEASE DO SHARE THIS POST TO EVERYONE!
