Author Topic: Some stupid Congress thing.  (Read 3157 times)

This particularly doesn't tick me off, but this paragraph does.

  Why are both parties pursuing this right now when there are so many other issues facing U.S. citizens? I don’t know, but the money trail behind the bill provides some clues. Our data partners at Maplight.org have already verified 48 organizations that are actively supporting this bill, including some with the most powerful lobbying teams in Washington D.C., like the Motion Picture Association of America, the Recording Industry Association of America, the US Chamber of Commerce, and AT&T. Together, they have donated more than $2 million to Senate Majriuty Leader Harry Reid [D, NV] and more than $700,000 to Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy [D, VT]. The House has taken large amounts of money from these organizations as well, with Majority Leader Eric Cantor [R, VA-7] sixth on the list of top recipients, with $234,300, and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi [D, CA-8] ninth, with $200,557.

Out congress people our so obsessed with money for themselves that they would pass a bill that accually LIMITS our free speech? Is that what I'm reading this as?

"donated"

As in, "bribed"

Why can't they go to court for this?

There's some sort of petition somewhere.

Even thought it probably won't pass anyway. Just saying.

I hope it doesn't, though.

This bill sounds really handicapped.
American person sends video to European.
European uploads.
DERP.

People are so stupid, it's unbelievable. I bet not even half of the people who use music or game footage in their videos claim that they own the game or the music.

Isn't a copyright just a claim? So I could go film something in my buddy's house and then he would be able to sue me?

You filmed it, so it's yours.

Let's list all the people going to jail!

Remember, has to be in the USA and have ten videos containing most likely games/music!

We will need more jails

I went to tell my mom this
"Bullstuff"


Sir, our prisons are full.
I see...


... Go arrest the internet.

This is like the red queen from Alice in Wonderland.

She arrested almost everyone.

So wait, how is it different if you film a game?

So tons of kids and teens could go to juvie for this? Or would it just be big fines?
