Internet News: PROTECT IP Act

I am by far not a political person. But when I learned of this law trying to be pushed through congress, I most definitely took a stand on it. So I'm going to start out this post by saying that I am against the PROTECT IP act. The PROTECT IP act, in a nutshell, is bad. It would give congress and corporations the ability to flat out BLOCK all access by Americans to any site they deem to be "disobeying" copyright laws.

What does this mean to you, who may be the typical end user? EVERYTHING! Okay, I'm just trying to scare you. But it most certainly can affect just about any social site that you go on. Sites like Youtube, facebook, myspace, even Blogger. Any site that anybody says anything from any copyrighted material can compromise not just the page of that site, but the entire site itself.

One of the "major" problems that PROTECT IP are suppose to solve probably won't be in the long run. For starters, PROTECT IP won't be able to block the site by ip address. Meaning you could always enter the ip address instead of the URL and it will bring you back straight to the site. Good game.
