it's already 2:56 AM here.

Prediction: Nothing bad will happen

trust me :c

It's not about what will happen, it's about what did happen. Weren't they supposed to vote on this yesterday?

According to the website of the House of Representatives, the bill's status either hasn't had any changes or simply hasn't yet been updated. The home page of house.gov also doesn't give any information to floor proceedings regarding H.R.3261.

Hell, I've even checked C-SPAN's website to see if they got any coverage on it, but to no avail.

EDIT:

Quote from: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:h.r.03261:
Latest Major Action: 11/2/2011 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition and the Internet.

The people running Tumblr posted some stats about the whole calling the U.S Representatives:
 87834 - Total calls to U.S Representatives
 53 sec - Average call length
 31 min - Longest call length
 1293hr - Total time spent talking to representatives

Everything creates more jobs nowadays.


Most of the companies fighting over copyright do not actually "give a forget about the artist". It's such a false cry and is only a ploy to increase revenue.

If the law gets passed I'm going to get large sub woofers and play party rock at full volume outside the white house until somebody comes and arrests me.

That'd be an odd thing to do.

You'd be arrested for disturbing the peace, if anything.
