In case the article doesn't explain it enough this new bill should it pass could cut off social networking and internet at its core, major web companies such as Facebook, Yahoo, and Google are fighting against this bill that could cut off any website that is accused of copyright infringement. Which could mean that Disney could easily shut down DVDizzy/UltimateDisney if they thought this website was posting any copyright material of theirs without proper approval.

Here's the petition:

There is word that Obama plans to veto the bill should it show up on his desk but it doesn't hurt to voice our opinion on this.

I was always wary that that would happen anyway, considering how psychotic and anti-everything Disney The Corporation is. But I also assumed that UD had some form of approval from Disney. Otherwise, they would probably have been forced down LONG ago for posting any pictures from Disney films. I mean- look what happened to Magicalscreencaps.com.
