Izinkampani, izinhlangano ezivikela isoftware yamahhala nabantu ngabanye ziyahlangana ngokumelene nomthetho ongakapheli okwethulwe kuKhongolose wase-US ohlinzeka ngamathuba okuba amakhasi wokukhiya emhlabeni jikelele (ngaphandle komyalelo wenkantolo) ngezaba zokuvikela i- ilungelo lobunikazi. |
Owokugcina ukujoyina kube yi-Creative Commons. Kepha uhlu lwezinhlangano nezinkampani eziveze ukuthi ziyasenqaba isicelo seStopping Online Piracy Act (SOPA) selunezikhondlakhondla ze-Internet ezinjengeGoogle, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Mozilla ne-Ebay.
I-SOPA umthetho osalungiswa uHulumeni waseNyakatho Melika ahlose ngawo ukuvimbela ukufinyelela kunoma yiliphi ikhasi lewebhu eliphula ilungelo lobunikazi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ingaphoqa abahlinzeki be-Intanethi (abasinikeza ukuxhumana nge-Intanethi) nezinjini zokusesha ukuqapha okuqukethwe abakunikezayo. Ukusetshenziswa kwayo kungasho ukuthi wonke lawo makhasi adalelwe ukwabelana ngomculo nama-movie abengatholakali kubasebenzisi base-US, kubandakanya nalawo adalwe kwamanye amazwe.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengoba i-Creative Commons, inhlangano ekhuthaze ezinye izindlela kunamalungelo okushicilela akudala, ixwayisa, i-SOPA ingabeka engcupheni ubukhona bamakhasi ewebhu omphakathi afana neWikileaks, iWikipedia, iFlickr noma i-Youtube: kanye nobungozi bokusetshenziswa ngokuhlanganyela kanye nokusebenzisana kwezomthetho, i-SOPA izokhuphula ngendlela emangalisayo izindleko nezingozi zokwakha izinkundla zokushintshisana nokubambisana, ”kusho isitatimende.
Zibhekene nabavikeli bayo abathi kungukusetshenziswa komthetho ukuvikela ukwakhiwa kwamathuba emisebenzi embonini yababukeli namakhompyutha, inqwaba yezinkampani zithumele izincwadi zokukhalaza ezingqungqutheleni ezizovota ngalesi silinganiso. "Nge-SOPA, i-United States izama ukuphatha insizakusebenza eyabiwe emhlabeni jikelele" ifunda incwadi esayinwe yiFree Software Foundation (abasunguli bohlelo olusebenzayo lwe-GNU), iLa Quadrature du Net ne-Acces, phakathi kwabanye. Beqokomisa imiphumela ebingaba khona ezingeni lomhlaba wonke nasekuvikeleni amalungelo abantu, bakulahla lokho, ngokuthinta uMthetho ezinsizakalweni ezivikela ubunikazi beziphequluli (iTor phakathi kwazo), ukuphepha kwalabo abasebenzisa i-Intanethi kungabekwa engcupheni kuleyo mibuso elandela inkululeko yokukhuluma.
Ngakho-ke, ukufaka ithuluzi lokuvimbela ukuvinjelwa kuwebhu yangaphakathi "kungadala impikiswano edicilela phansi igunya lokuziphatha lase-United States lokugxeka imibuso yengcindezelo," kuchaza abasayine le ncwadi.
Enye incwadi ithunyelwe yi-Google, i-Twitter, nezinye izinkampani ezinkulu kanye nabahlinzeki bewebhu begxeka ukungenelela okukhulu kobumfihlo bamakhasimende abo okuzobangelwa ukuqapha umsebenzi wabo. Iwebhusayithi i-AVAAZ.org ishicilele isicelo esiku-inthanethi esinxusa uhulumeni ka-Obama ukuthi avikele "i-inthanethi yamahhala nevulekile (...) insika eyisisekelo yentando yeningi emhlabeni jikelele." Isicelo se-elekthronikhi, esesivele sithole amasiginesha angu-471.800, sizolethwa kumalungu e-United States Congress ngaphambi kokuvota.
