For those of you who are aware of the United States congress considering a legislative bill to "Stop Online Piracy", you must be well aware of the repercussions if this act were to, in fact, be passed. Mozilla, Google, Facebook, Wikipedia, Yahoo and other major tech companies are taking action to prevent this bill from being passed. Wikipedia has even blacked out all it's pages for 24 hours, to protest this bill.
Here's a page I suggest those of you who don't know what SOPA is read- https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/sopa-pipa/
SOPA would highly effect Youtube, and would allow the government to censor everything on the Internet. That means no more music videos, no more game trailers, no more movie trailers, no more a lot of things. The US has the right idea, but this bill will NOT stop piracy. For those who are pirates, they can easily change their website name and continue on.

OT: This will effect EVERYBODY, even non-Americans. You will most likely loose access to more than one website you visit frequently. So I ask EVERYBODY to help fight it.
