Cripp 167 Posted July 4, 2011 This is complete bullshit.... but this piece of shit bill wont pass. This bill here is just a run and trial for more bills for the government to get "control" over the internet. They already have control over the radio, and TV. But the government has no control over the internet, and words from our favorite friends on the net: "The internet is a hate machine." There really is no control over the internet and they are trying to take away are freedom of speech. Share this post Link to post
<3. 7 Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) I second that, even if the bill does pass, nobody's gonna change anything,[rage] this is the internet for fucks sake, they need to chill out [/rage] EDIT: just read the bill, are they seriously suggesting that a maximum of 5 years can be given for a lets play? Lmao. EDIT 2: Lol, to pass it they've just put (b) Amendment to Section 506 of Title 17- Section 506(a) of title 17, United States Code, is amended-- (1) in paragraph (1)©, by inserting ‘or public performance’ after ‘distribution’ the first place it appears; and (2) in paragraph (3)-- (A) in subparagraph (A), by inserting ‘or public performance’ after ‘unauthorized distribution’; and (B) in subparagraph (B), by inserting ‘or public performance’ after ‘distribution’ Edited July 14, 2011 by <3.

Jimmyy 0 Posted May 17, 2014 I'm guessing these greedy asses are so nuts they don't like "FREE" advertising and I believe it is legal for them to do it under laws that can be used for such as "fair use, and educational purposes" Copyright act of 1976 17 U.S.C 107 under use of the fair act law.
