In an attempt to bring the heavily criticized sopa legislation, yet by the Congress, Congressman Lamar Smith, a watered-down version was proposed. Opponents, however, say that their main concerns to keep upright.
In the new sopa proposal of the Republican Congressman Smith should copyright owners first to the right steps to an advertising network to force it to stop offering the advertising on allegedly illegal websites. Also, it is further specified that sopa only applies to ‘piratensites’ that operate from abroad; until recently, would sopa relate to all of the websites .com-, .net – and .org-address. Further, can specific subdomains to be addressed.
The new sopa proposal is required also no longer of providers that they dns data under compulsion of the U.s. government to adapt, though that is allowed. Instead, isps should be able to choose a different way to prevent allegedly illegal websites called. A possible technique is deep packet inspection.
In “sopa 2.0” could be a number of public bodies research have to do with how the law may affect the security of the dns system as a whole. Also, would banks and credit card companies no longer as a ‘payment processor’.
Despite the diluted proposal that it is possible to vote on Thursday, and according to copyrightwaakhond RIAA is now sufficient ‘balance’ is established, continue to opponents of sopa reject. So the law would still control dns filtering and deep packet inspection enabling freedom on the internet may be in jeopardy. Wikipedia is considering a protest temporarily on black, while Google’s executive chairman Eric Schmidt argues that the government is not behind the brokers have to go, but behind the law breakers.
Or the new sopa-the bill will achieve, is still not entirely clear. A number of Congressmen have an alternative and less strict bill designed, Open Act’. In this proposal, would the government especially the financial service providers need to tackle, but also Open and Act from various angles on the necessary criticism count.
