Music has always had the power to strike fear into parents' hearts, which is why it is so attractive to young people. This hasn't changed since the days when the Beatles shocked the world. What has changed is that popular music lyrics have become much more explicit. I just think it's funny because my favorite rapper was eminem growing up and he is the cover of this website, goes to show you how much of a controversy he really was.

This article mentions what obstacles musicians might face if net neutrality were to not exist.

The pros and cons of SOPA and PIPA are discussed in this article. There is also an alternative introduced in this website about the OPEN Act.

Media Privacy, copyright infringement is what PIPA and SOPA is about. they want to block certain domains like the pirate bay and mega upload from giving away movies and music. Even payperview fights are on the pirate bay. for example, if comcast or century link didn't want you to access piratebay.org they could block it but there is still a way to get to the website through other ways so PIPA and SOPA had to drop it.
