sopa is in committee right now

stream here: http://keepthewebopen.com/sopa

every single sane amendment has been swiftly voted down so far, including the lofgren amendment

I'm sure opponents will say this makes the blocking toothless, but what they're really saying is they don't care if censoring websites they don't like harms the security of the internet.

as it stands, sopa is set to go straight from committee un-amended to the floor where it will pass by a landslide, both parties eagerly support it flush on campaign contributions from hollywood studios and the like

red99/p99 would undoubtedly be taken down if this passes, according to rogean

write and/or call your representative now if u enjoy p99 or red99 or the internet in general as we know it:

SOPA / NDAA / etc Pointless to care now. Once you step just a lil into tyranny it goes downhill.

The folly of luminaries who have warned us about this for decades.

So, if I am understanding this correctly, I can get banned/thrown in jail/sued if I sing someone else's song. But if a popular musician does a cover of someone else's work it is ok?

We could look forward to the Aussie example (Australia has a blacklist type legislation enacted) of Men at Work being retroactively sued by the new copyright owners of Kookaberra (Larrikin Music), who actually won 5% of royalties for the song for a three-second flute riff.

On 4 February 2010, Justice Jacobson ruled that Larrikin's copyright had been infringed because "Down Under" reproduced "a substantial part of Kookaburra.


If a 3-second flute riff - which was incidental btw - is substantial...
Also, this after 28 years of time that the previous copyright owners had no issue.

Crazy BS...plain and simple.

If I hooked up some Kanye West outside and put it on a loudspeaker, Would that mean all the people listening on my street would be pirates?
