I'm glad it got shot down...I guess Wikipedia is more powerful than I realized.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-15679208508509844712012-01-20T00:21:58.082-06:002012-01-20T00:21:58.082-06:00Right on, Will!

We'll just have to see how things progress.<br /><br />M.C., the tricky part about artists creating their own internet revenue streams is that somebody like the RIAA turns around and buys bad legislation that forces the artist to pay royalties to themselves through approved channels (minus a totally necessary cut of the profits going to the old guard.) SOPA is just another component in the old media scheme to take rights (and dollars) from law-abiding individuals to make up for their loses against new technology and widespread piracy.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-22182330469596143142012-01-19T23:10:31.484-06:002012-01-19T23:10:31.484-06:00Frank, thanks for a great blog post.

It is wrong to steal someone's ideas as your own, and equally so for their work.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-78235849508317841082012-01-19T11:51:32.139-06:002012-01-19T11:51:32.139-06:00It appears we ultimately agree, even if you're...It appears we ultimately agree, even if you're dragging your heels a little.<br /><br />As far as taking money from artists (I would point out that I almost never download movies, music or comics) I see parallels to solar power in that decentralizing the power, either electrical or artistic, is good for everyone except the big companies who control the previously centralized power.<br /><br />These are the growing pains of evolution, and they better get with it. Also, search "SOPA Emergency IP list" and you'll find the work around is pretty fuggin' easy.<br /><br />Unternet fer ever.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-62667659884459159002012-01-19T05:48:36.136-06:002012-01-19T05:48:36.136-06:00Great post, echoing my worries as well.
