Kickstarter Project Looks To Print SOPA/PIPA On... Toilet Paper?
from the where-they-belong? dept
I'm kind of wondering if this one would have gone over better a few months ago, when SOPA and PIPA were still on the legislative agenda, but Andrew Couts at Digital Trends points us to a bit of a silly Kickstarter project to get the text of SOPA and PIPA custom printed on a roll of toilet paper (where they belonged in the first place). SOPA is pretty long, at over 70 pages (PIPA was a lot shorter), but there's still some extra space, where backers can leave their "own messages" for bathroom reading about SOPA or PIPA.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

I've wanted to do this with the constitution
Of course, I've researched things since then, and found out that this should have printed and sent out 75 years ago.

Also, the Patriot Act was the FBI's wishlist come true. Now they get to "play" with the NSA's new "toys".

But I totally agree that every member of congress should be getting at least 1 roll a day delivered to their offices as a complimentary reminder that people who employ them (by voting) are aware and watching.
Would the US dare to claim that printing the bills on tp was a copyright violation?
