The United States government has been facing an intense amount of pressure, mostly from the entertainment and computer software publishing companies for years to find some method of stopping the online piracy that is allowing people to own copies of their merchandise for free. This is of course understandable, nobody wants to see something they worked hard on to create something of quality be disrespected by people gaining access to it for free.
А теперь по-русски, они хотят запретит не легальный товар (фильмы, книги и т.п.), для защиты авторских прав, нельзя будет выставлять всякую хрень (видео и т.п.), в следствие чего мокут закрвть ютьюб, википедию и все остальное.
