So you knowingly posted an image that contained another copyrighted image?

That means you're now a copyright violator... and MR has been tainted by your heinous crime. Thankfully, SOPA will take care of this by shutting MR down.

Congress will pass an exception making it legal for Congressmen to use copyrighted material without permission. They can already get away with legally using insider trading.

Has anybody gone out to his website a pointed out to him that under the bill he is pushing, his own website would be blacked out without a day in court? I have to go to work right now, but maybe this is a task for fellow MRers? At least until I get home tonight?

It seems to be the neighborly thing to do...And especially point out that he wouldn't know about it until it was being shut down.

And by the way, for those US members, you might send a comment about this to your representative and senators, using this as an example of how this law could bite them, as well. And if they don't think their opponents in a campaign wouldn 't do it.....

I shudder to think about what any president might accomplish if he or she didn't have any opposition. Checks and balances are good. Anyway, one down!

How about all the politicans who without permission use copyrighted songs for campaign themes. Before her campaign imploded Michelle Bachman had to be reminided by Tom Petty that 'American Girl' was copyrighted material and asked her to stop using it! Others have done so as well.

I'm just not willing to put that much effort into researching the accuracy of a gag internet promo-picture. I'm going to leave it up to the copyright holder (and only the copyright holder) to deal with it.... now there's a novel concept.

No kidding. While you're at it, John McCain ran into the same problem at least twice.

Remember Nancy Pelosi telling everyone they had to vote on the Health Care Bill so they could find out what was in it.

Rand Paul has said he would filibuster any attempt to bring the bill to a vote in the senate.

http://dailycaller.com/2012/01/18/ra...libuster-pipa/

Quote:
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul announced Wednesday that he would filibuster any attempt by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to bring the Protect IP Act (PIPA) to a vote.

PIPA, the Senate version of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), is being sponsored by Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy and pushed by Reid as a “job creator.”

I wrote to my congresswoman and 2 senators already. Probably won't have much luck with Dick Durbin (D) as he is one of the backers of the bill.

Hopefully the others will listen.
