365 Tigrikorn Day 176: My Little Pony Tribute!
If the Stop Online Piracy Act which is being debated in Congress were to become law, I might be vulnerable to accusations of piracy for posting the art and title above.
I create content for people to use online for free in classroom/personal settings. If I want to make money from future designs online, I would not want it pirated/stolen. But the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) now before Congress will be a huge disaster. It will automatically close sites that are merely ACCUSED of stealing art/music etc! No due process --just shut down!
Imagine your favorite art site or blog that comments on culture and news. If anyone wants to shut it down all they have to do under the SOPA law is ACCUSE it of piracy. Simple way to shut up anyone you don't agree with. Please contact your congressman to prevent this law from passing.
