A poster portraying the many arguments of piracy.
In this informational poster, I made it like Mark Weaver because his style allows for some neat developments in ideas. The reason why there is a prison in the boys head is because he has been attacked by SOPA and his creativity feels like a prison. The worst thing is because of copyright he can’t cry for help.
SOPA Research
After browsing the internet for information about the political encounter (SOPA), I have found some useful information to consider.
“SOPA” stands for Stop Online Piracy Act.
It was founded by a senator named Lamar Smith. He made the bill in the hopes of protecting the jobs of the entertainment industry (disregarding all the hard-working jobs of the internet goers).
The bill was supported by a minority of people who ironically was the entertainment industry itself. However it is widely despised (rightfully) by the majority, consisting of everyday politicians, businesses and anyone who really uses the internet.
So far SOPA has been put on a big hiatus due to the global hatred of this bill, but some argue this is due to the US elections.
Fun Fact: Lamar once broke copyright law.
