SOPA posponed indefinitely?
Thoughts?
calm before the storm I guess. Bah, time will tell. I really have no idea.
We’re still all fucked and I’m not sure stand a chance against this one.
Protecting Children From Online Pornographers Act
good luck getting congress to oppose a bill with that title…
Take a wild guess who introduced this one
succinctly put.
i doubt lobbyists just pack up and go home if legislation stalls.
they’ll reword and wait till something else is distracting everyone.
On the basis that ths will slowly effect everyone on varying levels, i have deleted my youtube mixes.
Out of the 8 vids i had, 2 had terrirtory restrictions and 2 were flagged for matching 3rd party content.
So they were blatantly going to be get killed at some point. And if anyone removes my content. It’s me.
cough

Signs It Anyway When Congress Is In Recess On New Years Day
Well there’s still ACTA… which is global and just as bad, if not worse.
This one isn’t getting near the publicity as the others unfortunately… Already passed in Poland

There’s about to be some massive protests in poland
why is it ok to steal stuff again?
This isn’t about pirating stuff it’s about not destroying the internet, innovation, privacy, and opening up the floodgates for the RIAA and MPAA to copyright troll even more. New legislation will pretty much require ISPs to keep records of every user’s internet activity that can be handed over at any time. These bills are unconstitutional and have implications for the entire world and freedom of information exchange.
SOPA posponed indefinitely?
SOPA covered more than just stealing/pirating stuff.
Say you throw some Michael Jackson in your mix and then throw that up on soundcloud or whatever. The record company can claim you’re hurting sales and you go to jail for five years. One year longer than the doctor that killed him.
Read the proposal, it’s crazy shit. Artistic licensing is thrown out the window and all power lays in the hands of corporations.
I’m always confused by republicans that argue for smaller government but then introduce bills that are the exact opposite of that.
isnt the world ending this year as well?!?
Seems like when everybody was distracted by SOPA/PIPA, a bunch of countries decided to sign ACTA.
