Stop SOPA 2014.

Stop SOPA. SOPA stands for Stop Online Piracy Acts. In this case, all fanart will be deleted, all fan-pages, fanfics, fan made videos, etc. Please help stop SOPA.

It's not called SOPA, but Notice and Staydown. It takes some of the content from SOPA though.

Basically, you can upload them and all, but if someone sends in a notice/complaint about it, a site is REQUIRED to take it off and forbid it from uploading again. Because it's to be automated instead of manual, content checks don't happen, so a lot of people say even "legalised" content can be taken down or a bogus notice can close a work. Once a work is closed, the site has to block you from posting it again unless you change the content significantly.


If you're looking for petitions to sign to prevent certain specific SOPA-like acts/bills, I recommend you sign this:
Stop SOPA-like policies in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Notice and Staydown efforts, and other policies
SOPA may have been stopped, but large companies with many copyrights are trying to re-institute portions of it under other names and policies. This attempt to limit protected speech in the name of copyright is unacceptable, and must be resisted.

Secret negotiations to include SOPA provisions in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, lead by a former SOPA lobbyist, draconic Notice and Staydown measures that would hold small websites accountable to electronically police media with software they can't afford, and private agreements that could be used to bully small companies into excluding protected content are all being proposed now by Big Media.

We encourage the administration to oppose any measures that would deny alleged copyright infringers due process and protect original content!


I don't think it will effect many fan arts,fan pages,etc unless some company make a complaint about it and thus it needs to be taken down. If it's done like that then some fan arts that's been turned in to say gameinformer (that sells magazines about game and shows fanarts) will need to stop...

But no more reading mangas for free if it passes.
