For anyone out of the know, the US senate is currently trying to force through a bill by the name of Stop Online Piracy Act, also know as SOPA. The act itself has draw massive criticism from the online community. If SOPA passes then the online community itself will be forced to shift in the United States as well as the rest of the world. Beyond the bill itself it’s supporters are quickly becoming the center of focus for many online attacks groups.

In this particular instance we have threats coming from internet cyber-attack group Anonymous. Earlier in the year Sony’s PSN network was compromised and taken offline for months leaving the gaming community frustrated and showing the company that the groups bite is just as strong as their bark. So now we have arrived to the trials of SOPA and as well we are seeing the internet acting out against certain supporters.

This video is just the latest from the group, but as far as online threats go ones from Anonymous should be taken quite serious. Whether you support SOPA or you support the online community the events that are currently taking place are some of the first clashes we are seeing in the internet censorship war. If you wish to keep up with current SOPA issues please take a glace at Reddit’s page on the issue. Anonymous will also keep the community updated on their own terms, and through their own choice of websites.

EDIT: Sony, Nintendo, and EA have all withdrawn their names from SOPA support under namesake. Whether or not they are still supporting the act is still up for debate.
