SOPA WANTS TO SHUT DOWN FANFICTION
This is important SOPA is coming back please consider posting this on one of your stories!
SOPA will guarantee that anybody who streams a video, whether it be on youtube, a walkthrough for a video game, or a kid singing a song that is 'copyrighted' they will be treated as a felon. That is one of the highest form of criminal offensives for something as simple as uploading a video game walkthrough on youtube, playing a song with lyrics of your favorite artist and even one we all go on, this one right here. If a particular stream contains any copywritten material of any sort the uploader and creator of said content can be found guilty and automatically placed in prison for years on felony charges.
the bill however is so vauge however that the government and coporations would have control of ANY content on the internet and it isnt just limited to places like Youtube and Fanfiction. it will affect online internet radio stations, ppl singing a song, gamers doing review with game footage. activist and alternative media using MSM clips all could be potential felons if they are not properly "authorised"..
the worst part is they are trying to sneak this in quietly under the radar while the other events in the mainstream distract you from noticing it.
Everyone on Fanfiction will being attacked as well. A fanfiction writer can being carted off to a maximum state prison for writing a character from Naruto into their fanfic, or a character from Bleach, or a character from One Piece, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, the list is endless. If this passes it will not be long, not be long at all, because once this passes, then anything goes. Fanfiction will be attacked for using characters in a fanon manner, authors will be arrested for writing a book whose main character has glasses just like in another series, artists will be arrested and confined for using sapphire blue in the iris of one of their characters like another author. This effect us all and we can not let it happen.
We are not as powerless as we might think. We stopped SOPA before and we must do it again. Our stories, our ideas, our passion will be threaten. Everything from this to fan art to youtube is in danger of being gone forever. Let's end this for good and sign the petition below now and spread this far and wide:
