Big news in terms of the SOPA and PIPA bills.
The support of a number of US politicians has been withdrawn from the controversial SOPA and PIPA anti-piracy laws after a series of online protests from major web companies. Wikipedia and WordPress where two of the highest profile sites to block their content.
Two of the bill’s co-sponsors, Marco Rubio from Florida and Roy Blunt from Missouri, are among those backing away.
The protests have been branded as “irresponsible” and as a “stunt” by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).
Both bills focus on responding to online piracy, specifically illegal copies of films, games and other media.
The bills would also outlaw sites from containing information about how to access blocked sites.
Apparently the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) was looking likely to pass, but after the support of Mr Rubio and Mr Blunt (and others) being withdrawn, now seems to be in trouble.
More updates to come.
