10 of the Chunky Bits about SOPA: The Internet Blacklist Bill

Internet Blackout is now trending on the web. Wikipedia and Reddit goes offline and Google cover it's logo with black. There are lots of links pointing on SOPA topics throughout the internet these past few days or I mean months and ever wonder what the hell is it?

Well according to wiki, The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), also known as House Bill 3261 or H.R. 3261, is a bill that was introduced in the United States House of Representatives on October 26, 2011, by House Judiciary Committee Chair Representative Lamar S. Smith (R-TX) and a bipartisan group of 12 initial co-sponsors. The bill, if made law, would expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Presented to the House Judiciary Committee, it builds on the similar PRO-IP Act of 2008 and the corresponding Senate bill, the PROTECT IP Act.
