If you're like most people, you probably use Google or some internet search engine at least once a day. But the "Stop Online Piracy Act" and its companion bill "The Protected IP Act" could change the internet as we know it. Channel Six spoke with a local business who says the proposed law could stifle creativity.

There's a lot creativity happening inside Bozell Advertising in Omaha.

“Work with clients on a variety of different types of services,” said Scott Rowe.

E-mail, websites, social media and digital media, they are constantly connected to the web.

“A lot of marketing now is built around having a dialogue with the consumer, it's not a monologue anymore,” said Kim Mickelsen.

But a proposed internet law could change everything.

“The problem with SOPA is that in some aspects is it's not that much unlike the great firewall of China,” said Rowe.

SOPA specifically targets illegal offshore websites that stream and download movies and music.

“The challenge is those people aren't going be easy to stop. They're never gonna be easy to stop,” said Mickelsen.

The law aims to stop piracy but its boundaries are unclear. For example, if a video is copyrighted material on ‘Company Y's” website and it's posted on “Company X's” website. Under the current proposal, “Company X's” website could be shut down and blocked because someone else posted a link. Not just the video but the entire site and it won't be found on any search engines either.

“And then we're back to web 1.0. Those individuals that are just average people trying to write content and trying to just communicate about culture and communicate about brands can all of a sudden just be literally taken out of that equation,” said Rowe.

Supporters say it will protect original content. Opponents say it violates the First Amendment and censors the internet.

“It makes you a lot more reticent to innovate to do things differently, to create,” said Mickelsen.

SOPA was originally slated to be discussed in session on Wednesday but that has been postponed after the White House expressed concerns over certain parts of the law, including blocking websites from search engines.

Still SOPA opponents are rallying around a blackout on Wednesday, meaning they'll shut down in protest. Included in that list: Wikipedia and Reddit.

The senate will debate a similar law later this month.
