Save the Internet!

I'm not one for posting political action, but if we don't do something soon we could lose the Internet as we know it. Not only that, but making personal copies of your cd's, dvd's or any other copyrighted or uncopyrighted material. The RIAA (recording industry) has said that taking a cd and ripping to your computer as MP3's and copying them to your iPod or any other mp3 player it is against the law. Which means you could go to ten...yes up to TEN years to prision.

The article today has many artists such as Moby against this bill because they want to destroy how the internet operates. There is an election coming up this fall, goto this site. They are voting because the RIAA are giving them money to vote for this stupid bill.

I'm not suggesting that we pirate software, but they want us to buy a copy of the song EVERYPLACE you put it. Or the DVD you bought, you thought you owned the movie? Nope. The RIAA says you bought the rights to view the movie. If you have small kids in the house and want to make a backup. You can't with this bill.

Please write your congressman and let other people know about this hideous practice. If you go to the site, enter in your information and it will help you forward the message to the correct congressman in your district.

Even if you don't think this is a big deal. Think about trying to add a website for your business or hobby. Part of the bill will allow the bigger companies (phone, communications) to squeeze out the independant developers or web hobbyist from having web space unless they pay a fee for people to visit their site. This bill has far reaching implications, lets get it voted down. Now.
