Google, YouTube, Wikepdia and several other major websites are coming together to protest a controversial bill. It's called SOPA and some people say if passed, it could very well shut down some of our favorite websites.
"The devil is in the details. And a lot of the details kind of concern people," IPFW Online Marketing Specialist John Kaufeld said.
IPFW Social Media expert, John Kaufeld, has been researching the Stop Online Piracy Act for months. He says the bill has good intentions. The goal's to protect peoples intellectual property from copyright infringement.
But unnecessary details in the bill concern technologists like Kaufeld.
"You have the representatives and the senators on one side saying 'Well we just really want to accomplish this one thing. We're trying to protect intellectual property.' But the technologists on the other hand are saying 'You know you're going after a fly with a shotgun and dynamite.'"
Kaufeld says most people don't understand the implications of what SOPA would do. It could blackout sites for months while they investigate cases of infringement. In turn that could cause a company or business to shut down.
