Journal Post 1A: The Believing Game - SOPA, For

                The Stop Online Piracy Act or SOPA, was originally proposed to end the illegal, counterfeit downloads over the internet. It gives the US law enforcement the ability to block websites that have pirated downloads and search engines that guide users to these downloads.  The government blocks the websites by banning it through American ISPs, or internet service providers. In other words, the ISPs will be stopped from allowing users to browse the websites that the government will choose. The act would be a great tool that would benefit the American film and music industry and would stop the pirating of software.
