Rep. Lofgren: Copyright bill is the 'end of the Internet'


10-30-2011  •  news.cnet.com 

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, the California Democrat whose district includes the heart of Silicon Valley, is preparing to lead congressional opposition to the new Stop Online Piracy Act.

The antipiracy legislation, introduced yesterday in the House of Representatives to the applause of lobbyists for Hollywood and other large content holders, is designed to make allegedly copyright-infringing Web sites, sometimes called "rogue" Web sites, virtually disappear from the Internet.

"I'm still reviewing the legislation, but from what I've already read, this would mean the end of the Internet as we know it," Lofgren told CNET.

I am getting tired of hearing about copyrights.  Every other year there is always something else trying make copyrighting worse than it needs to be.   First it was the DMCA, now some other law on top of that.   Now this crap!   What's next?   Will we need a computer license to use a computer??    Remember this,  a computer is NOT a HAM RADIO!   Somebody always wants to play FCC regulation  games with us.     People need to wake the hell up and oppose this!
One day it's going to get hard to publish your band's music, or home movie of the cat you love, or home movie of your birthday party.   Don't let the internet turn into a prison camp!
