SOPA and PIPA Good or Bad and things you should know.

I had not been tracking all of the ins and outs of the bills in the Congress.  However after reading articles that tale a great deal about these two bills, SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA ( Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act).  These two bills could implement blacklists and blockage of websites outside of the USA to US Internet browsers.  Read up on it, learn, and make a decision.  This could be a very bad thing basically creating a Firewall around the United States.  If you support it you may want to look into signing the Google petition to help stop it.  How would you feel that if you went to one of your favorite websites and it comes up with the following images.
