Internet Censorship

Description

As of recent following, a bill has been proposed to censor the internet to the entertainment industry. But here's how it really works:

private corporations want to be able to shut down unauthorized sites where people download movies, tv shows, and music, and they'll be using different tactics to do so.

1. Blocking access to infringing domain names
2. To sue and have links removed (Ex. blogs, forums, and search sites)
3. Cutting off funds to infringing websites

But in likelihood, they could do something altogether.

It won't stop downloaders though, as they'll be able to still type in the IP address of a blocked website, just no longer their original URL.

In terms, these lawsuits could end up suing search engines, and news media websites. Lots of websites such as Youtube could look like the targets of piracy, as well as other websites where people express themselves. Overall, this won't stop piracy, but will occupy censorship with the websites that we know and love, and making it less safe, and less reliable. And it's a medium for the government to tamper with to get people to buy more Hollywood movies.

I'm supporting the cause to prevent internet censorship, and it would be greatly appreciated if anyone else can provide support. And no internet means no deviantART!
