Internet is changing forever....soon.

So, it seems that society is starting to go backwards now

Wow.

That means my restoration art could perhaps be deemed as infringement. And the handful of videos (ever-growing/audio clips) I've uploaded to youtube. Wow.

As if congress didn't have something more important to tend to. What the bloody hell.

Fair use.............

copyright isn't infringed upon if it is for fair use, which means you can use items for comment, education, criticism, reporting,,,,,,

Gotta luv the way Government works...

The sub-committee has adjourned until late October before doing anything with the current piece of legislation, so everyone can relax for a little while at least.

My listening to music is always educational.

No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in!

Here in Canada there was a proposed bill a couple of years ago that was basically the same proposals as the US senate bill. Fortunately it didn't pass in parliament.

Foreward a couple years later and there is yet another bill waiting for the MPs to vote on in the fall session. Thankfully we have a minority government in power at the present time which may contribute to the defeat of the proposed legislation.

^^I remember the first fiasco, the minister in charge of writing the Policy knew nothing about the internet, except maybe how to canvass for funds and a job after serving the public. That made me so angry, at least Appoint someone who has an inkling about what's going on in the internet world before allowing them to write a new law, let alone try to pass it then enforce it...:mad

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

this is one reason I hate government. Bunch of morons.

 

[Mr. Shadow]

I blame Al Gore--he invented the Internet.
