There is currently two bills up for a vote called SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act). While these bills have good goals in mind, because of the way that the bills are worded, the government can at any time close down a site that has or links to copyrighted material. For example, the Camp Half-Blood wiki has some images from The Lightning Thief movie. That is copyrighted material and so our site can be shut down. The funny thing is that they can take down these sites without warning and without evidence, but if they are wrong the sites cant even fight back
