Stop Online Piracy Act In The USA
During last days "Industrial war" started in the United States in which old and new generation industrialists confronted with each other. It was an ideological war too that affected not only the USA but its impacts were vast globally.
This actually started with the complaint of American entertainment industries like film, music, TV's and books that as soon as any new film, song, TV program or book is released, these are copied by foreign websites and kept on their sites where visitors are invited to download them free of cost. Thus millions of people benefit from new creation with out spending a penny. The entertainment companies claim that this is not only the violation of copy right but they are deprived of billions of dollars annually. Due to this great loss several companies shut their business and their employees are unemployed now. They claim that piracy by foreign websites are destroying American entertainment industry.
The solution they thought was to get a law passed through congress to ban the business of the foreign websites in the Internet world. They assigned the task to REpublican Congress Member Lamar Smith from Texas whom they have been contributing donations for his election compaign. Now it was his turn to reward the companies. They directed Smith to present a bill in the congress that could vanish the American and foreign websites from the world of Internet that provided free downloading facility to users for films, music and books. So, Smith announced in October 2011 that he was presenting a bill in the congress that he names as SOPA ( Stop Online Piracy Act)
