The '''Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)''' (also known as House Bill 3261 or H.R. 3261) is a bill demanded by wealthy [[liberals]] in [[Hollywood]] and the music industry, who are massive contributors to the [[Democrat Party]].  If passed, this bill would impose a number of controversial measures for dealing with online piracy including the distribution of copyrighted material via the [[internet]].

He could also prohibit the sites' online advertising, and disable [[Google]] from ranking and linking to infringing sites.
