SOPA and PIPA may be "temporarily gone" but they still have the NDAA...

By simply pointing or linking to a DNS address that contain pirated medium or *******, you can be shut down by the feds. Google is lumped with ******* search engine site like TPB... Paano pag may nag lagay ng ******* thread dito sa tskot?

The studios and labels have a much more difficult time with websites such as Piratebay.org or, what the studios would call ‘Rogue’ websites, and it requires a little more knowledge about the details of technology that drives such websites to understand why they are such a complicated issue. Piratebay.org doesn’t actually host any infringing content at all, but has millions of links to content being hosted on peer or nodes. A peer, or node is a personal computer connected to the internet with an open source application based on Bit******* open source code . Bit******* allows a person to host a file (movie, music, software etc). Those files are made available for download using a ******* download application which happens to be the same application that hosts the infringing files. When someone downloads a file using a Bit*******, they are actually receiving that one file from multiple machines that are hosting the same exact file using the same piece of software and then they are many cases, making that file available to be downloaded from their machine and the cycle begins. Those files could be hosted on machines that were located in multiple countries and it is possible that the person hosting the infringing file might not even know they are hosting it. Confusing isn’t it? It is this confusion that it makes things more difficult and more dangerous. Dangerous because, Piratebay.org doesn’t actually host, deliver or infringe on any copyright at all. They only have links to such content, because it shows up in their search engine in the same way search result appear in Googles search engine however, under SOPA and PIPA those sites can not only be prosecuted but shut down entirely for the behavior of others they cannot control. It becomes easier to understand why Google is so interested in SOPA and PIPA. If either act had been passed prior to Googles launch, we would all still be using Yahoo, unless of course the Government hadn’t already shut them down too. The same goes for YouTube and Facebook. What concerns free speech advocates about these laws is even more frightening then losing access to Google.

More...Google search results include ******* files.

Why Should You Fear SOPA and PIPA? - Forbes

Passage of SOPA or PIPA will essentially allow the Government to shut down the DNS (Domain Name Server) that directed a URL such as Google or Download music, movies, games, software! The Pirate Bay - The galaxy's most resilient Bit******* site to the physical address of the server its IP address such as (254.196.2.x). Domain names are simply a fancy and more informative way for you to find a website since the data for a website resides on a server somewhere and that server has a digital address identified by something called an IP or (internet Protocol) address. The Bills target the DNS servers that direct users from the URL name to the IP address. For most users, shutting down an infringing DNS address would prevent them from reaching the website that contained the infringing content or the link to the infringing content. It would NOT however stop the pirate from typing in IP address of (256.196.2.x) as an example, to reach the same content. In short, it wouldn’t stop the pirates from downloading illegal content any more than background checks stop a gang member from purchasing a hand gun. Gang members don’t buy guns legally and Pirates, hackers and criminals never open the legal route either. It’s simply too messy and too easy to get caught. SOPA and PIPA are dangerous, half-baked solutions that will cost millions of jobs, stifle innovation and ultimately do nothing to stop piracy at all. It could be used as a solution for those in Government that seek to silence their opposition, even if that was never the intention.
