Octra Bond’s World

There is a known big news that USA is thinking a cyber law which can enforce the world. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is the subject of issue. Its draft is tended to protect copyright infringement, this should have been good, but it also gives eternal power to conquer any web sites: the government will be able to eliminate any website that just has a link to the infringed site or doubt content in it, and cut off funds of the web site in any way before sueing. Of course, proprietary media and sofware companies support this, whereas open source and sharing communities disagree. The reason is that if the SOPA passes, we will have no social network any more and your little web site might be punched down. So Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, Twitpic, Mozilla, Reddit, Yahoo, Google, etc officially oppose the act. Some of them have blacked out their site together to protest.

I also feel that the act have too many power and nobody can guarantee that they (including the companies) will not use the law to bully raising businesses and competitors, so I must oppose it too. The result is revealing soon.
