By my reading of SOPA (and I think PIPA is very similar), youtube could not be construed as a foreign site and therefore would not be (directly) affected by SOPA. Of course google, being a DNS service provider, a search engine, and an ad service, would definitely have been affected by SOPA.
- onemoreact 15y agoSOPA did not limit it's self to international websites. 1/2 the bill focused on foreign sites the other half applied to US sites.
- cristoperb 15y agoI'm almost sure you are incorrect (the entire purpose of SOPA was to provide the same copyright enforcement to "foreign sites" as already exist for domestic sites). Can you point me to the section/paragraph of SOPA that you are thinking of?
