Yesterday, we've posted a 5mn introduction to Stop Online Piracy Act (aka SOPA) proposed law, that is being debated right now. If signed into law, SOPA could let anyone sue -and shutdown- a site like YouTube because one user uploaded some illegal content. Today's alternative is that YouTube is given a short amount of time to remove the content. Obviously, neither solution is ideal and perfect, but the current situation based on the Digital Millennium Copyrights Act (DMCA) gives a chance for great services with user-generated content to exist.
Ubergizmo, Is SOPA supported by Apple, Microsoft and others?
