this is a US based act but will cause issues foir all especially as it means that they can and will close down sites for any type of infringment, now it is mainly aimed at Illegal Filesharing but thos people will find away arount it just as they always do and this will cause issues for other more general sites long term i think. the below is not mine but i totally agree with it
COICA
In the United States, a new law proposal called The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced last week, and there will be a hearing in front of the Judiciary Committee this Thursday.
If passed, this law will allow the government, under the command of the media copanies, to censor the internet as they see fit, like China and Iran do, with the difference that the sites they decide to censor will be completely removed form the internet and not just in the US.
Please see the following article from the Huffington Post for more information.
