Unless you’re wholly entrenched in the daily goings on of Internet and copyright law, SOPA might be one of those things you hadn’t even heard of until this morning, when sites like BoingBoing and Tumblr and GigaOm launched posts explaining and condemning it. SOPA is the Stop Online Piracy Act, a bill introduced into the House that, according to a New York Times OpEd, “would empower the attorney general to create a blacklist of sites to be blocked by Internet service providers, search engines, payment providers and advertising networks, all without a court hearing or a trial. [SOPA] goes further, allowing private companies to sue service providers for even briefly and unknowingly hosting content that infringes on copyright.”
Sounds pretty scary, right? The SOPA hearings started in the House today, and that’s why today has been declared American Censorship Day. Numerous companies and websites are attempting to raise awareness about SOPA in an attempt to “save the Internet” and hopefully block the passage of the law. But so far, according to Techdirt, the odds are stacked 5 to 1 in favor of passing the bill.
SOPA has many implications for casual Internet users, but for journalists the repercussions of SOPA passing could be immense. Here are a few ways in which the passage of SOPA could impact journalists and their organizations.
1. Your Articles Could Be Censored
Say you’re writing an article, and one of the websites or quotes that you want to reference comes from a site that has been accused of piracy. Even if your piece does not include anything that could be considered copyright infringing, if it links to a source that does–a source as innocuous as a YouTube video or a Tumblr post–your entire article could be blocked from the Internet in the US. According to Fight for the Future, “This law would give government and corporations the power to block sites like BoingBoing over infringing links on at least one webpage posted by their users.”
2. Multimedia and Citizen Journalism Would Suffer
Want to upload a video from the Occupy Wall Street protests to YouTube? Or maybe upload an audio interview to Soundcloud? If SOPA passes, these sites would be entirely responsible for the actions of their users. That means that if just one user posts content deemed illegal by SOPA, the entire website could be blocked. Platforms that are integral to both citizen journalism and successful multimedia journalism could effectively cease to exist. As Rebecca MacKinnon writes in the New York Times, SOPA ”would also emulate China’s system of corporate “self-discipline,” making companies liable for users’ actions. The burden would be on the Web site operator to prove that the site was not being used for copyright infringement. The effect on user-generated sites like YouTube would be chilling.”
3. Innovation Would Be Stifled
One of the most exciting things about being a journalist in this day and age is that we have constant access to amazing digital tools that can help us tell better stories. Projects like Guardian Beta frequently test startups to see which ones work and don’t work, and attempt to figure out how they can incorporate emerging technologies into their websites. If SOPA passes, the legal risks of starting an online venture would greatly increase, de-incentivizing innovation and creativity. ReadWriteWeb has a great infographic from AmericanCensorship.org that explains, “As a result [of SOPA], sites’ self-censorship increases dramatically. Fewer startups launch, due to riskier legal climate.”
SOPA’s implications are wide-ranging, and if passed, could impact everyone from casual Internet users to news organizations. What do you think of the Stop Online Piracy Act?
SOPA is the Stop Online Piracy Act, a bill introduced into the House that, according to a New York Times OpEd, “would empower the attorney general to create a blacklist of sites to be blocked by Internet service providers, search engines, payment providers and advertising networks, all without a court hearing or a trial. [SOPA] goes further, allowing private companies to sue service providers for even briefly and unknowingly hosting content that infringes on copyright.”

About Me
Shayn AlmeidaShayn Almeida is a DJ, Musician, and full time Yoga Instructor.
Growing up on Marthas Vineyard Island, Shayn attended Green Mountain College studying English Literature and Journalism, with a minor concentration in Theatre, and a perpetual focus on Music.
Shayn has held residencies at Super Clubs such as Spundae, Avalon, The Mayan, Sugar, DEEP LA, and Vangaurd in Los Angeles.
He has played for years in the LA Underground with Moontribe, Higher Ground, Integral, Dream Circus Theatre, as well as mixing at Earth Dance and the annual Burning Man festival.
DJ Shayn has played with some of the best DJ's and producers in the world of Dance Music; from Breakbeat legends such as the Stanton Warriors, Evil 9, Adam Freeland, Freq Nasty, and Tipper, to pioneers of House Music such as Marques Wyatt, Derrick Carter, Doc Martin, and DJ Garth; Shayn has shined with the brightest stars in Dance Culture.
Shayn is known to seamlessly flow through House, Tech House, Electro, Breaks, Dub, Reggae, and Dubstep.
Singing throughout High School and College, he attended the Musicians Institute of Technology for Guitar, Recording, and Sound Engineering in Hollywood, CA.
Shayn began working in the Music Industry doing Live Sound, Mixing, Mastering, as well as designing Sound Systems in some of LA's most historical clubs. (One of his first gigs being at the legendary Club Lingerie on Sunset Blvd., where he would eventually meet Marques Wyatt and begin his career as a DJ).
In 2003 Shayn began working for the music production software company Native Instruments as their West Coast Product Specialist. He also began working with Stanton Magnetics (a.k.a. Stanton DJ) as they had partnered up with Native Instruments for the Traktor "Final Scratch" DJ system. As product specialist Shayn traveled the United States teaching Artists, Producers, Sound Engineers, and the general public how to use the entire line of Native Instruments music production software and bean using Traktor in his DJ sets.
After over a decade working in various aspects of the Music Industry, getting slightly disenchanted "Slangin' Dreams", Shayn chose to make a major career shift and completely focus on music production and his practice of Yoga.
Over time, with much practice and sincere study, Shayn began to connect his roots in Music to his teaching of Yoga.
He found that there was an entire aspect of Yoga dedicated specifically to Music, and that there were ancient texts outlining how Music effects and connects the Mind, Body, and Spirit.
Everything eventually comes full circle.
Shayn began working on a book and developing a system that detailed the history, science, and theories of various techniques using Sound & Music to enhance and evolve our lives; ideally expanding our ideas of both Music and Yoga.
In his home studio, Shayn began to incorporate this knowledge into his music production.
Shayn recently finished up a rough version of what is to become his first book, titled "Yoga and the Vinyasa of Sound: The Union, Connection, and Power of Sound and Music."
After a 5 year hiatus from mainstream DJ'ing, 2011 has marked the return of DJ Shayn into the Dance Music scene.
As a pioneer of the Tech House style he immediately re-established himself as one of LA's top DJ's, and is currently playing House, Tech House, and Dubstep to ecstatic crowds across the country.
With a residency at Vanguard and DEEP LA, Shayn is focused on the things he is most passionate about: Healing the World and assisting the Planet through Music, Yoga, and Dancing.
Shayn is currently immersed in Music Production and continues to Teach Yoga.
His book "Yoga and the Vinyasa of Sound", and upcoming DVD "Vinyasa Power" is set to be released in Winter 2011.
Shayn is in the studio daily producing his debut album 'Rocktronic' which is planned for release in Summer 2012.
