    Explanation why SOPA is going ruin the internet as we know it.

    This TED Talk is very interesting and explains in very simple language what SOPA and PIPA are trying to achieve and how these pieces of legislation if passed, will affect the internet and our common everyday usage of it. Clay Shirky explains how this bill is trying to reverse the century old legal concept of "innocent until proven guilty" to "guilty until proven innocent". He explains that media industries are trying eliminate everyday sharing, because it is a burden for them to police legal and illegal content. He warns us to be ready for new legislation concerning this problem and recommends us to be active in this fight to defend our freedom to share. Very interesting and informative video.
