SOPA's back, back again...
« on: August 24, 2013, 09:56:32 pm »

Well ladies, gentleman, artificial constructs, and metal dinosaur, guess which zombie legislation is back again? No, not the stop ACORN thing, that was last week. This time we see SOPA coming back, again, trying to make streaming anything copyrighted in any way a felony. That means even covers of songs, like those done by YouTube's wonderful 331erock, are now felonies.

I guess I need to get my jolly roger flag and Guy Fawkes mask back out. Now, I love killing zombies, but this is getting almost as stupid as the 13 different bills passed to get rid of an organization that no longer exists.

Again? What do they think, that somehow it's going to be different this time? I don't think people are going to just magically change their minds.

Yeah, if the pagans are so smart, why did Jesus invade Pagan-land on the back of a dragon and kill them all!

No, the media companies are greedy pigs, and want people to pay and pay.

I think they're banking on people either not knowing, not caring, or not being able to generate the rage against it again. Which is why the news of this probably needs to be spread as far as it can be.

How many times again do we need to say 'no' so they can all shut the fuck up again? Do these people even take 'no' for an answer?

A felony? Seriously? They want to make something that should only be a civil violation a FELONY?

The big music labels sure aren't endearing themselves to us when they're trying to make felons out of everybody.

Unfortunately I am not American so cannot sign that petition, I did reblog it when I saw it on Tumblr though.

From international relations to religious rivalries, from marriage to athlete's foot, whatever the problem a fundy's first solution is usually violence.

Oh they're making a lot of people pirate shit purely out of spite for this shit.  Myself included.

Well it is certainly understandable that they don't like piracy and want to protect their property. It's just such a pity that these laws they want are so stupid.
