                 This is all because of two pieces of legislation: the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House and its Senate companion bill, the Protect IP Act (PIPA).  The purpose of these bills is to make it harder for sites — especially those located outside the United States — to sell or distribute pirated copyrighted material such as movies and music as well as physical goods such as counterfeit purses and watches. Even most of SOPA and PIPA’s strongest opponents applaud the intentions of the legislation while deploring what it might actually accomplish.

                My reflection about  this is. I guest it has a good purpose that’s why they are want to proposed and implement that bills. But it can affect a lot in our lifestyle nowadays because most of us especially in the aspect of education we are in a modern generation and we need computer that can aided our education .We use computer to search anything with regards for our study and because of this SOPA we will have limitation for that like for instances we are just read it but we cannot copy that unless we will have permission for the publisher or creator of that information posted in the internet and also internet will be very uselss because of that and it can affect a lot here in the phlippines because most of the students here are searching and copying their assignment through internet and that what I’ve observed when I was in  computer shop and I think sopa will kill us internet users.
