Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.87,0:00:04.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's say that you´re the owner of some type of copyrighted material-
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.93,0:00:08.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe it's a movie, maybe it's music of some kind-
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.27,0:00:10.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you observe that there is a site that is operating
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.92,0:00:14.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,outside of the US and that site-at least in your mind-
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.33,0:00:20.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seems to be infringing on your copyright by US law.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.00,0:00:28.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is the site in question - and you're saying that it is doing illegal things, at least by US standards.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.93,0:00:30.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The problem is that there's nothing you can do -
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.87,0:00:34.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's operating outside of US soil and outside of US laws.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.20,0:00:37.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can even go to the government, even if the government wanted to do something about it,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.80,0:00:42.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it really couldn't. Because once again, it's outside the US jurisdiction.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.27,0:00:45.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The purpose of SOPA-and it seems fairly benign at first-
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.80,0:00:49.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to give some tools to these actors to stop this.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.60,0:00:52.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The problem-and we´ll see that its quite a large problem-
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.67,0:00:56.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that it gives tools to these actors to do much more than just stopping illegal activity;
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.67,0:01:00.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it allows them essentially to go on, to some degree, a kind of a witch hunt
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.87,0:01:04.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for anyone that might even have a whiff of enabling this type of activity.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.87,0:01:07.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,-it won´t even just be for foreign sites.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.87,0:01:10.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So lets write this down, so SOPA stands for:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.20,0:01:12.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Stop Online Piracy Act -
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.53,0:01:14.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it sounds pretty reasonable -
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.20,0:01:17.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is the version of the bill that's coming from the House of Representatives.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.60,0:01:20.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The one from the Senate, that's slightly different
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.13,0:01:23.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they have the same intent, is PIPA.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.27,0:01:26.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what it does is, if you can´t go after this site itself
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.07,0:01:30.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe you can go after sites that is somehow benefiting this site.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.47,0:01:32.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And those sites are inside the United States.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.93,0:01:36.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is outside, this is inside the United States.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.40,0:01:39.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So things that are doing that might include search engines.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.60,0:01:43.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So search engines like Google or Bing.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.13,0:01:46.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They obviously link to this site over here. You might have ad networks -
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.93,0:01:53.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so sites that allow this site over here to display ads and to get revenue from them -
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.53,0:01:55.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that are benefiting this site over here.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.87,0:01:58.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You might have payment sites like PayPal
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.73,0:02:04.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or credit card processors that this site uses to collect revenue.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.13,0:02:09.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, maybe most importantly, you have things like the DNS servers within the US
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.60,0:02:13.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that associate this site's domain name with the actual servers.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.47,0:02:17.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I wont get too technical about it, but when you type in
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.13,0:02:22.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something like www.shady.foreign
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.53,0:02:24.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,, and once again, we´re gonna see that this site might
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.80,0:02:27.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not even have to be shady or foreign-
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.27,0:02:29.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but when you type something like that in -
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.20,0:02:31.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there´re servers in the United states that associate that with these servers
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.80,0:02:38.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that might be operated outside the United States - that associate this text with a number
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.07,0:02:42.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that points to this website, that points to this website's servers.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.87,0:02:44.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So these are all things within the United States -
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.80,0:02:47.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that to some degree this site is dependent on.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.67,0:02:51.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what SOPA does is, it allows these actors here -
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.80,0:02:56.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the ones that are obviously concerned with enforcing their copyrights -
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.27,0:03:01.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to issue court orders and notices to these actors right over here
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.33,0:03:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that essentially compels them, very strongly, to immediately
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.00,0:03:12.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cut off ties with this illegal site - or what they think is an illegal site.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.53,0:03:16.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now that might seem reasonable to you, except for the fact that
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.33,0:03:19.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's kind of a "shoot first and think later" type of policy.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.60,0:03:23.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The basic way it works is, you presume guilt until this guy
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.53,0:03:26.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,somehow tries to proof his innocence and we´ll see
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.47,0:03:29.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this guy isn't naturally outside the US.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.13,0:03:31.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It might even be completely legal, or what I would consider
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.67,0:03:34.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,completely legal sites inside the US.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.67,0:03:37.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Essentially as soon as this allegation is made and either a court order
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.27,0:03:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or a notice is payed, these enablers have to cut off ties to this site -
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.00,0:03:45.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you can imagine that if these cut off ties to this site,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.47,0:03:48.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- this sites´ business - whatever it might be - whether illegal or legal,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.80,0:03:51.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,immediately gets obliterated, especially this one here
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.33,0:03:53.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,including search engines, ad networks and payments.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.20,0:03:58.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if they don´t comply then these guys are going to start having illegal balast.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.27,0:04:02.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So these guys are not going to have to comply and that by itself is hard
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.07,0:04:04.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if they don´t comply, then they themselves are going to be in trouble.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.80,0:04:08.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now it gets really obviously creepy, when you start
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.33,0:04:10.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going into - so when you thing of this - you´re like
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.87,0:04:13.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,okay, so maybe we can work around this a little bit.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.67,0:04:16.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it gets creepy when you even know this is the spirit of the legislation,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.80,0:04:19.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when you actually read the wording of the legislation-
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.07,0:04:21.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and obviously that's what matters, not the name or the intent-
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.20,0:04:23.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But actually how it's worded-I mean, the way it's worded
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.53,0:04:27.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- it´s pretty clear that its intent is to go after much more
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.60,0:04:31.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than just a site that's explicitly selling illegal pharmaceuticals or
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.27,0:04:37.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,allowing people to download movies or, or videos or music
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.66,0:04:40.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that these owners don´t have access to.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.42,0:04:43.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When you read the wording, its pretty clear that they want to be able
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.56,0:04:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to shut down anything that is in any way associating with itself -
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.00,0:04:49.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or in any way enabling it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.20,0:04:53.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you see it in the wording. So this is actually section 1.0.3 of the SOPA legislation
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.33,0:04:59.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- and this is how they define a site that is dedicated to theft of US property.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.93,0:05:03.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So an internet site is dedicated to theft of US property if -
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.33,0:05:06.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, so you know, it's useable by people in the United States -
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.50,0:05:10.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is interesting: It´s "primarily designed or operated for the purpose of,"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.20,0:05:12.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"has only limited purpose or use other than,"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.20,0:05:14.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"or is marketed by its operator or another acting in concert"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.80,0:05:18.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"with that operator for use in, offering goods or services in a manner"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.13,0:05:22.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"that engages in, enables, or facilitates" - now this is interesting -
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.87,0:05:26.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,enables or facilitates all of these violations.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.80,0:05:29.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And these are the violations that would be illegal:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.33,0:05:31.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You´re selling things that you can´t sell,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.33,0:05:34.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you´re infringing on other people´s copyright.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.20,0:05:38.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it might seem harmless, this "enables or facilitates", until you think about
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.53,0:05:40.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what that could encapsulate.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.60,0:05:44.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If I have a site, like this, I am part of a site: Khan Academy
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.20,0:05:46.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let´s say someone puts a message on Khan Academy
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.60,0:05:53.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and from Khan Academy they link to a site that actually is really illegal
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.27,0:05:56.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that is really shady and they link to it in the message boards.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.83,0:06:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, under this am I enabling, is Khan Academy enabling or facilitating?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.00,0:06:04.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if that's the case, then Khan Academy - by this definition -
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.67,0:06:08.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would be considered to be a site that is dedicated to theft of US property.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.81,0:06:12.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there are much bigger players than just Khan Academy,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.40,0:06:16.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that can be thrown into this bucket, players like YouTube or Vimeo or any site.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.07,0:06:19.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or even a news site, that allows people to put comments,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.80,0:06:22.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or allows people to put images, things like Flickr.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.34,0:06:26.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That maybe had - in some way - their users infringing on the copyright
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.80,0:06:30.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,now all of the sudden the whole site - based on this definition - the entire site
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.40,0:06:34.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can be defined as a site dedicated to theft of US property.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.80,0:06:38.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By this definition YouTube could be that, if its viewed in kind of
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.53,0:06:41.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,enabling or facilitating.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.27,0:06:43.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Khan Academy, any news site could be viewed like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.67,0:06:45.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Vimeo could be viewed that way,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.20,0:06:47.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a photo sharing site could be viewed like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.07,0:06:49.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People might take a photo or something that they don´t have the copyright
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.27,0:06:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and upload an image and all the sudden - by this definition -
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.00,0:06:57.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,based on just a sense that that's being violated,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.13,0:07:00.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they won´t just be able to shut down these illegal sites;
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.47,0:07:03.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they would be able to shut down things like YouTube, or Vimeo,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:03.60,0:07:08.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or even things like CNN.com, if someone puts a message
Dialogue: 0,0:07:08.20,0:07:11.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or an image, that they think is somehow violating.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.53,0:07:14.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so it's not just going-right now the methodology is,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.33,0:07:17.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if there is some content on YouTube or Vimeo or some other site,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:17.60,0:07:20.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that they feel is infringing on their copyright,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:20.53,0:07:22.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are laws, where they contact YouTube directly,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.80,0:07:25.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they point them to the content, that seems to be infringing
Dialogue: 0,0:07:25.27,0:07:30.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and YouTube, or Vimeo, or whoever will take down that content.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:30.07,0:07:32.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what this allows them to do is shoot first and think later:
Dialogue: 0,0:07:33.83,0:07:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Oh, look: You´re enabling that"; if they could convince some court
Dialogue: 0,0:07:35.00,0:07:39.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to give a court order, they can start giving notice to these players right over here
Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.73,0:07:44.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to cut off ties with major - what I would consider very legal sites -
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.20,0:07:46.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like YouTube or Vimeo or CNN.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.84,0:07:49.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It´s really almost any site that allows people to upload things onto it,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:49.63,0:07:55.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or put links on it, which is almost - Facebook is another one -

Dialogue: 0,0:09:43.80,0:09:46.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could take the site down. Maybe some small producers actually
Dialogue: 0,0:09:46.27,0:09:49.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,secured the rights, put it up on YouTube and then,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:49.13,0:09:52.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of the sudden, these guys take down all of YouTube based on

Dialogue: 0,0:09:59.13,0:10:02.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it gets even creepier than that, because to be considered this
Dialogue: 0,0:10:02.53,0:10:06.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you don´t even just have to enable or facilitate - which is almost anything-

Dialogue: 0,0:10:09.67,0:10:15.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you are considered to be a site dedicated to theft of US property.

Dialogue: 0,0:10:24.33,0:10:28.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you´re doing something illegal. So if you view this in the physical world:
Dialogue: 0,0:10:28.33,0:10:31.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Obviously, some people are doing illegal things in their homes

Dialogue: 0,0:10:40.77,0:10:43.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What this would do-and this would do it in the virtual sense-
Dialogue: 0,0:10:43.73,0:10:48.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is say: "Look! Just by taking the action of closing your shutters"
Dialogue: 0,0:10:48.47,0:10:51.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"and looking your doors, which makes it hard for federal agents to confirm"

Dialogue: 0,0:11:03.53,0:11:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that was even attempted to be passed into law.
