SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act)

Fanfiction.net WOULD fall under the catagory of websites to be eliminated or shut down due to the 'copyright infringments' and 'illegal content', despite the fact that if it's called 'fanfiction' the fan is not claiming ownership.

However, I thought that this bill was stopped in 2012. Hopefully it's not back up.

Well, first off it's not strictly SOPA. It's a set of three policies and acts that contains elements from the original SOPA. Basic information is here: http://flamewarflipsides.deviantart.com/...-439990931

I do admit its inconvenient for fans, so the most accurate petition I've found is this: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitio...s/dXMRvNh8
The original eruption that started the panic when it got out was this: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitio...4/q0Vkk0Zr
