A new bill called SOPA is currently being looked into by the House of Representative's Judiciary Committee. The bill is being pushed forward with the hopes of ending websites that support piracy. However, with the vague wording of the bill, it can be used to do so much more. Websites like YouTube, Twitter, and Tumblr could all face a block by the U.S. Government if infringing material is posted on their servers. This means both the site owners and users would also be liable for infringement for any copyrighted material. While the law doesn't necessarily state it will do these kinds of things to these websites, it does enable the government to do it f they please.
