the fight against piracy could fundamentally change how we use the internet-

"Today, Congress holds hearings on the first American Internet censorship system.This bill can pass. If it does the Internet and free speech will never be the same."

"Risk of Jail for Ordinary Users
It becomes a felony with a potential 5 year sentence to stream a copyrighted work that would cost more than $2,500 to license, even if you are a totally noncommercial user, e.g. singing a pop song on Facebook."

unfortunately theres not too much i can quote, its a graph/video based site.

note:i have zero connection to this group. this is just something that affects all of us.
