Congress is considering two well-intentioned but deeply flawed bills, the PROTECT-IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
As written, they would betray more than a decade of US policy and advocacy of Internet freedom by establishing a censorship system using the same domain blacklisting technologies pioneered by China and Iran.

"suspected"??? And how long before an alternative news source can't mention the name of a corporation before being shout down? I'm pretty sure the majority of websites could be in the firing line if this type of control was implemented.

Cybersecurity experts speak out against SOPA:

"If the bills become law, the security system won’t be able to tell the difference between sites that have been blocked by law and those that have been sabotaged by hackers. Indeed, it isn’t hard to imagine crooks redirecting users to sites that say, “You were redirected here because the site you asked for has violated copyright,” while at the same time planting malware on the user’s computer."

Legislation that would prevent Americans from visiting websites the government claims are violating copyright rules had a tumultuous first hearing Wednesday, with its main sponsor unexpectedly expressing reservations over the bill’s scope.
Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), one the chief sponsors of the bill, expressed uncertainty over allowing the Justice Department to obtain court orders demanding that American ISPs prevent users from visiting blacklisted websites. ISPs receiving such orders would have to alter records in the net’s system for looking up website names, known as DNS.
The House bill also allows the Justice Department to order search sites like Google to remove an allegedly “rogue” site from its search results.
“I’m not a technical expert on this,” the chairman of the committee said, adding moments later: “I’m trying to ferret this out.”

If website owners should be held responsibl­e for content of all the strangers who post on their site, then:
1. The RIAA should pay every time someone plays music over 50Db.
2. The automotive industry should be held accountabl­e for everyone who commits vehicular manslaught­er.
3. Parents should serve the same sentence as their children for everything their offspring of any age do, from shopliftin­g to murder.
4. Judges should pay restitutio­n to every victim of every repeat offender that has been released from prison.

If this passes, wave goodbye to sites like Youtube, Wordpress, Blogger, Tumblr, Grooveshar­k, and Soundcloud that rely on user-gener­ated and uploaded content.
