Musician’s SOPA Rant
Yes, everyone is up to this today. And yes, I’m a musician who likes making money. But I like living in a free society too - and the cure in this case is worse than the disease.
Perhaps if the current music biz weren’t such a bunch of corporate asshats focused on profit for a handful of shareholders rather than music, #SOPA wouldn’t be generating such ire. But I’m glad that it is - #SOPA hands huge censorship powers to the US gvmt, and is worded in such an ambiguous way that it allows almost any web-site (certainly any with user-postable information like NRMU) to be killed. It could shut down Wikileaks in an instance (maybe that’s why gvmt are so keen on it?) What’s more, you’ll have to actually travel to America to defend yourself.
Oh, and don’t even THINK about doing a cover and posting it on YouTube.
