I suspect this proposed law has "kicked" a sleeping giant. I think the best technical minds on the net don't work for the government or these big corporations, they are people like Eli, sitting around in their rooms at night, manipulating data for fun. It will be interesting to see how things play out.

Is this idea the reason why those of you in Germany cannot view many of the YT videos? Do they have a similar law?
Originally posted by Cairistiona View PostThe YT thing is about rights for music. You have to pay if you want to play music, and you pay to an organisation, the GEMA. They give the money to the composers or owners. But even if a singer or a band plays his own music he has to pay for it, too, and never gets all the money back.
Originally posted by jeri View PostI think there are ways to make money with their stuff, like making the videos of OUAT available for an inexpensive price for downloading. I think this is the future of entertainment, and the companies behind this legislation are behind the times in implementing new ways of viewing. I think the internet viewership of SGU was extremely high, but they did not have an adequate way of making revenue off of the net viewing. If things were affordable and easy to get legally most people would pay rather than steal. That is the real reason SGU was cancelled, not enough people watched on TV, it was not that there weren't enough viewers, just not enough that they could count and tell advertisers.
It comes down to this. If a photo or video is placed on the web,it is understood that it can travel anywhere, so it seems foolish to try and fight piracy, it can't be done. They need to find ways to make money from their work in a way that makes it easy for us to buy and see. We should not have to go looking to "steal" RC films. It is incredibly cheap for companies to make their work available for downloading, and I would gladly pay for a nice HD copy of whatever rather than the poor quality of some of these things.

First time I wholeheartedly support hackers!
American server farms should go up in arms too. American authorities can't legally shut down servers outside the US, but I expect they could do what the Chinese do, block their citizens' access to them, if SOPA and PIPA become law. The first step would be to make sites like GW flee US servers in droves. But fortunately protests seem to have had an effect, numerous congesspeople who supported the measures have withdrawn their support.sigpic

I'm too aghast to even jump in. I so admire Henry Rollins for saying a few years back: "**** it, if I have to make the choice, I'd rather be heard than paid. Please, steal my ****." "If the music is that of an up and coming band, they eat mac n cheese and work out of a garage, then go to their show and buy their ****. If it is J-Lo, for god's sake go steal it. It should be illegal for anyone to make money off of crap like that." "**** Lars Ulrich. He looked so ridiculous in his expensive suit in court, worth $200,000,00 at least, crying over the .68 cents he didn't get from some kid in Arkansas. **** Lars Ulrich."
yeah, like that. those are all Henry Rollins quotes. This has got to look like an insane ransom demand.You can refuse to know something, but you cannot escape the consequences of that refusal.~~ me

Something funny happened tonight. My husband, I and a few friends went out to celebrate hubby's birthday. At the next table there was a very slim guy with a teal t-shirt on top of a long-sleeved white shirt! He didn't look like RC otherwise but his clothes made me think of Rush straight away.sigpic
