PIPA and SOPA

Pipa and Sopa
2
Small Introduction

• It is about the website(Named as Reddit.com),
  which becames the No. 1 Social bookmarking
  website in the Year of 2011. Now many of you must
  be thinking that Why such big sites are taking
  serious, shutdown actions about SOPA and PIPA
  Acts.. So Let me introduce you about these two
  terms.
• I think many people over here are not aware of
  PIPA and SOPA...
• PIPA and SOPA are both U.S. Government Laws for
  stopping the Online Piracy which includes,
  Software, Music, Movies, anything.. The big
  companies like Google and Mozilla once supported
  this ACT's.. But now they are standing against
  them.... They want that this Bills never get
  passed...
• PIPA stands for Protect IP Act
• SOPA stands for Stop Online Piracy Act

PIPA Protect IP Act

• PIPA Actually PIPA is the OLD U.S. Law which
  served by U.S. Senate on May 2011.
• The main threat about this act is.. If it is
  passed then U.S. government will get the right to
  Sue any website(New or Old that will not
  matter) if the found any Copyright issue on
  particular website.
• PIPA Includes
• If U.S. Government found any Copyright
  infringement on any website, they can force U.S.
  Internet providers to block access to websites.
• Seek legal action by suing search engines, blog
  sites, directories, or any site in general to
  have the black listed sites removed from their
  website
• Will be able to force advertising services on
  infringing websites, and those supporting of
  them, to remove them from their advertising
  accounts
• Companies will also have the power to sue any new
  websites that get started after this bill is
  passed, if they believe that they are not doing a
  good job of preventing infringement on your
  website

SOPA Stop Online Piracy Act

• SOPA is similarly like PIPA.... SOPA was
  introduced on October 2011
• SOPA Includes
• The U.S. Attorney General can now seek a court
  order that would force search engines,
  advertisers, DNS providers, servers, and payment
  processors from having any contact with allegedly
  infringing websites
• It will allow private corporations to create
  their own personal hit lists composed of websites
  they feel are breaking their copyright policies,
  ironically this doesnt have any odd feelings of
  a legal mafia at all. These companies will be
  able to directly contact a websites payment
  processors a notice to cut all off payment
  involvement with the targeted website. This
  payment processors and website of question will
  then have five days to act before it is simply
  taken down.
• Payment processors will have the power to cut off
  any website they work with, as long as they can
  provide a strong reason of why they believe this
  site is violating copyrights

Facts SOPA PIPA

• Many big companies like Apple, Microsoft, IBM,
  Adobe and etc. are already supporting
  BSA(Business Software Alliance), which directly
  comes under U.S. Government.
• Still the Big Brands, Google and Mozilla are
  standing against this laws...
• I know, that you are thinking that...why Google
  and Mozilla are worrying about..
• Please refer next Slide for this

Google No Support to SOPA/PIPA

• "Why Google not Supporting???"...
• 1) US Traffic Blocked
• 2) AD REVENUE Blocked
• 3) Search Traffic Blocked
• Now Many of you must be thinking why MOZILLA
  Then... Right?

7
Mozzila No Support to SOPA/PIPA

• Mozilla is the strongly standing against this
  law, because of the DNS Filtering(IP Fluctuation
  - PIPA Act) Issue...
• Mozilla believes that by using DNS filtering this
  will open up more security risks and slow down
  the systems up and coming extension DNSSEC.

How it will affect us?

• As we all know that which thing in Internet World
  is Most Popular???
• Thats Blog and Bloggers!!! Right?
• It means U.S. Government will keep eye on Blogs
  that which kind of content they are publishing.
• These Acts make it the blog owners responsibility 
  for everything that is displayed on their site,
  including the comments of visitors.
• It means.. If you are going to put any Article
  and if you put any company Logo without its
  Company permission then may be your websites will
  have to go under SOPA and PIPA Acts

Say GoodBye! To Innovation

• These acts are stopping developers from coming up
  with the next big thing in the online market that
  could change how we use the internet.
• Lets say that these acts were around back when
  the internet was started, how many of the most
  popular sites would still have come into
  fruition.
• There would be no Facebook, YouTube, MediaFire,
  SoundCloud, Twitter, DropBox, or any other site
  that can be targeted as a place where online
  piracy could take place.
• Is it even possible to think about what the
  internet would be like without sites like this?

Clear Idea

• If you are thinking that How Facebook or Youtube
  kind of sites will get blocked then let me give
  you an Example
• Take an example of Youtube Youtube will stop
  giving permission from record Label songs upload
  on their website.
• As you all know that in Youtube, Many times we
  see that many people sing one song in different
  styles but now after SOPA and PIPA if that song
  is copyrighted or the Music Industry put that
  song under Copyright then it will create issue
  for everyone. From website to that Person.
• However will that be a problem for the record
  execs?
• The site the person will have posted the video on
  will be put under pressure to resolve this issue,
  or face their site being put on the blacklist.
• That person and his family, could also very well
  face legal action with either the site or the
  record label the song that was sung has
  copyrighted.

U.S. Government

• As U.S. Government applying this Law only for
  United States at start.
• U.S. Government are not only concern about the
  things that how these Acts will work out in
  America..  they are hoping that they will have
  the influence to get other nations to follow suit
  with these acts passing.
• That means if these acts pass, then our country
  will also come forward.. To take such kind of
  actions

Call your State Senators

• This is the most important thing anyone can do,
  because this is how your voice can be heard in
  the process. It is the Senators duty as an
  elected official to do what is right by, and
  listen to the will of the people who elected
  them. If they dont hear the input from the
  people, then theyll have no idea of how anyone
  feels.Americancensorship.org has a great
  tool that will help you find who your Senators
  are, their contact numbers, and get you right in
  touch with them. They also inform you of speaking
  points to mention in your conversation before
  calling.

• Otherwise, You dont have to be a U.S. citizen to
  take charge here, online petitions is a great way
  to get a global reach on how people feel. The
  most important thing is that everyone is heard,
  in any shape or form.
