    Copyright bill will close the Internet down if something isn't done.

    We need your help. Congress is passing a dictatorial bill that will officially enable websites to be closed down for copyrighted content, which could mean the destruction of YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and other sites dedicated to users putting up things. This bill must be stopped, because this anti-piracy campaign is a disguise for censorship by RIAA, WMG, and other greedy, evil corporations who get mad when they aren't recieving money.

    Please help us end this. This copyright infringement war has gone on for far too long. Already, 44 or 50 videos I have liked have been taken down for infringing "copyright" when no one really cares, and even though Youtubers are NOT making money off of it, and state that they do not own the materials they make, and that these are a tribute. But if this horrendous, atrocious bill is passed, it won't just be Youtube that's affected. Major websites like Facebook will be censored, Google will be affected, Fanfiction.net will be affected, and others. Netflix, Playlist, Hulu....all of these websites may be gone if something isn't done. The Internet is supposed to be a free haven for people of all nations, creeds, and beliefs to gather and share the things we all enjoy.

    Take a look for yourself at the draconian bill.

    A hacker's response to the outrageous bill. Send messages to your congressmen, sign petitions, and join the Wall Street protests. Now your freedom is being threatened. Please, help us destroy this horrible bill.

    This would of course make a good number of techie toys rather useless and put a major dent in that sector of the economy. Which is about the only other area besides health car that is not going into the dumper.

    Wonder how many have thought of that.

    I saw this coming in the eighties when the Reagan Administration awarded Disney INC. a forever copyright.

    this is bullshite just like it was back then.

    Read Jefferson on copyright sometime.

    This violates every frickin rule in the book.

    Should a HAPPY FACE have property rights forever?

    Oh now you got me mad.

    Great blog, great grasp of the monster that destroys free speech more than any other monster around.

    Stalin capitalized. ha

    Speaking of which, my youtube account now has copyright strikes just because I "infringed" copyright by making animated music videos and putting them up. I constantly have to change my audio. Now I've just about had enough with these sickening companies and their disgusting ways. I heard about megavideo and megaupload. Screw those Nazi corporations and their disgusting ways.
