Many people worldwide are talking about a U.S. bill that, if passed is prettymuch the strictest Internet Censorship imaginable.
To sum up the proposed bill, posting copyrighted material on the internet will beconsidered a felony.
Millions of sites worldwide are mobilizing to defeat the bill. Here's a couple of links to check out:

https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/! ... 8/4ykggyDqRemember: It will be TOO LATE once this bill becomes law and it's such a big deal people overseas are talkin about what they could do to get around it should it pass.
Of course, this is being funded by alot of corporations who don't give a crap aobut personal freedoms but like to Q.Q when people point out their greediness. While true the bill is INTENDED to target pirate sites and people who upload copyrighted material to You Tube we know this will be abused should it become law.
We need to send them and Washington a message this bill will do more harm than good.
