Hear about acts of piracy which have generally been outstanding and has been widely implemented by the society in almost all the world, this seems to have led to a law this week a lot of talk on campus.
Have heard about SOPA and PIPA?

SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (IP Protect Act) is legislation proposed last year by U.S. senators and high officials in order to protect copyrighted material such as internet videos, music, software and all digital goods from piracy.
SOPA and PIPA governs how virtual worlds should be according to them, and of course users. However, this law is not as simple as that, many things from this legislation will change the way the internet works today.
Why?
Since last year until now, some American officials are trying to approve draft legislation (Bill) of IP Protect Act (PIPA) and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) to the U.S.
House of Representatives (DPR U.S), to become official law.
RRU's second briefly, giving full rights to the Government and the owners of intellectual property rights to censor content in digital online world, on the grounds indicated the existence of infringement of IPR.
They could both act of censorship, either directly or indirectly for the access of virtual worlds for the content of a site, on behalf of the bill.
The policy states the iron such People's Republic of China (PRC), Syria, and Iran not only do the censorship of anything that smells of resistance to the government in power through the medium of TV, radio, or print media, but also a strict censor all digital content through the internet.
In fact, even North Korea has long been strictly prohibits the use of the internet for free in their own country.
Only a supreme ruler who just got free internet access in North Korea.
PIPA? what is it and who?
PIPA bill proposer is derived from Senators Patrick Leahy, Orrin Hatch, Chuck Grassley on May 12, 2011. PIPE is a continuation of the bill Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) in 2010, which passed by the House failed America.
Did you know? That if the U.S.
House of Representatives be passed into law PIPA official, then the American companies concerned and the U.S. government has the right to perform any legal action (legal according to the law) to impose sanctions against all websites (sites) are indicated to do things that endanger the intellectual property rights, whether it's his intellectual property rights derived from the native Americans or not.
SOPA? what is it and who?
While proponents of a bill that SOPA board members, Lamar Smith on October 26, 2011.
Origin SOPA has similarities with the PIPE, the SOPA is a continuation of the bill PRO-IP Act in 2008, which also failed to become official law.
If SOPA Act ​​officially became a legitimate, then the parties are very interested, in this case the American government and the private companies have the power to blacklist against those who violate intellectual property rights indicated.
and, what about Indonesia ?
Indonesia is a haven for the world of online digital content both illegal and legal.
Moreover, the category of infringing intellectual property rights in this SOPA does not limit itself to the digital content like music, movies, games or software. SOPA's contents will affect the online payment system, such as Paypal. (Maybe Google Adsense too?)
In fact, advertising networks as online payment systems, are also strictly prohibited to link with sites that are considered problematic.

Could this have anything to do with the lid wikipedia for 24 hours?
