Recently, it was that crazy American Censorship Day and so many people wrote about SOPA since then, so that I decided to look how it will influence online money making. What will it bring to Internet community at all?
So, what is SOPA?
SOPA stands for Stop Online Piracy Act. Everything started as US musicians and film makers started arguing that government should defend their intellectual property. However, this Act is harmful for all Internet industry and such Internet giants as Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter and many others cooperate against this it.
If SOPA (together with its “fellow” Protect-IP Act) get power, search engines, Internet providing companies or regular websites, but which have partly relationship to sources with infringing content stop working at all. Internet providing companies have a right to block whole domains; because of some of their content have content which infringes copyright. It doesn’t matter that site contains much other legitimate and important stuff.
Internet companies say that such strict measures will hardly stuck all innovations. This will cause strong decrease in online money making as much of it is combined with media and entertainment files. All great file-sharing websites as Rapidshare, FileSonic, 4shared and others will be totally banned. This sorrow destiny will be scenario for development even of such influential search engines as Google and Yahoo and of less famous, but not less useful as FileTram.
Finally, making money with file-sharing will be totally impossible, and all of you understand why. What should we do?
All who are active online, who work and have rest here should cooperate and stay for our game rules, to which we are used to. Personally I understand that film makers and musicians need to have money from their work, but not with the price of Internet setback.
