SOPA- Stop Online Piracy Act

This past Wednesday on January 18, 2012, Google, the internet search engine, and Wikipedia, both protested the actions of Congress which have decided to place this controversial piece on the back burner.  Many others in the tech community have protested Congress's recent actions to vote for legislation which would allow the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as copyright holders, to seek court orders against websites outside of U.S. jurisdiction accused of enabling or facilitating copyright infringement.  This legislation has support from organizations which rely on copyright such as the Motion Picture Asociation of America, the Recording Industry Association of America, MacMillan US, Viacom, and various other companies and unions in the cable, movie, and music industries.   Earlier this past week, Wikipedia blacked out its website for a day while Google circulated a petition which generated more than seven million signatures in protest.
