US Filmmakers Association Supports Anti-Piracy Law
The US Filmmakers Association has supported a controversial anti-piracy bill that was opposed by the world's largest Internet companies. This is reported in the official statement of the head of the organization, Chris Dodd. A law called the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) gives government authorities unprecedented powers to stop the activities of Internet projects that are caught or even suspected of illegal use someone else's intellectual property. Moreover, resources that link to such sites can also be persecuted. Thus, even a single use of a text, video clip, image or music composition, which the copyright holder considers illegal, may cause the shutdown of any resource. Against this law, The debate, which will begin in the US Congress on January 18, 2012, was made by such companies as Google, Yahoo, eBay, Facebook and other Internet giants. The founders of these companies believe that the adoption of this law will deal a blow to the very foundations of the global network and the principles of information dissemination in it. In protest, on January 18, the English-language segment of Wikipedia suspended its work for a day.
