It appears that companies supporting SOPA are starting to understand that support for the act could cost you alot of customers.
Simply put the act would criminalize any use of any copyrighted information without explicit permission from it’s owner. Meaning say you decided to post a video that has music in it, if you didn’t pay a fee to the owner you could be prosecuted for threat of the property. This bill is BAD NEWS and should die. Several other Bills are circulating that are better and would handle issues better.
Social media platform Reddit is at the forefront of objections with this Act. It’s users have called for folks to close their GODADDY accounts.
