Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is 4. The author says that the Stop Online Piracy Act is unfair because it may violate citizens' ability to produce and access information.

Explanation:

The Stop Online Piracy Act, abbreviated as SOPA, was a bill of the House of Representatives of the United States by Representative Lamar Smith and a a bipartisan group with twelve participants.

The bill expands the legal means for copyright holders to combat online traffic in protected property and counterfeit goods. On January 20, 2012, Lamar Smith suspended the project. According to him the suspension is "until there is a broad agreement on a solution."

The project has been the subject of discussion between its proponents and opponents. Its proponents affirm that protecting the intellectual property market and its industry leads to the generation of revenue and jobs, besides being a necessary support in the cases of foreign websites. Its opponents claim that it is a violation of the First Amendment, as well as a form of censorship and will damage the Internet, threatening whistleblowers and freedom of expression.
