How many big sites closed down due to SOPA and PIPA? a week ago most of big site in the internet strike SOPA with blackout and several day ago one of the biggest online file sharing site megaupload was shut down due to SOPA and PIPA, today i got a list of file sharing website that affected by SOPA and PIPA, apart from that i also hear about the OPEN act the replacement of SOPA and PIPA. OPEN Act secures two fundamental principles. First, Americans have a right to benefit from what they've created. And second, Americans have a right to an open internet. Our duty is to protect these rights. That's why congressional Republicans and Democrats came together to write the OPEN Act. you can read further about OPEN act on Wikipedia pages here.
