Copy"right" is no longer applicable. To which mere creation of your works should now be put to question: "What will I do with my works?"
Wishing back the natural flow of the spring waters back into the underground well from whence it comes is not an option. Any laws attempting to cork it will soar, cause a brief tremble and die.
Previous distribution models are now irrelevant. Clearly, attempting to control your old model with absurd, obscene, grotesque and all around bad law is your last chance at the failure prize.
You do not own culture. Culture is people. Even your initial grass roots, never been done before "works" are derived from people.
When you have to air-brush out a picture of a celebrity's tee shirt of tweety-bird for fear of a boot on your throat you're attempting (and succeeding) to own culture. You want to get paid forevermore for a cartoon bird. That's broken.
So, go figure out what to do with your works instead of your boots - it's been done for centuries and I'm quite sure you'll come up with something amenable.

It would seem that BSA's stance is simply more thrust in the "private right to action" direction. Harsher monetary penalties could serve a higher rate of settlement successes. With the already much, much too high financial, emotional and stressful burden of actually defending yourself this sort of behaviour is prevalent and, really, needs some adjustment. Rapid curb existence discovery, that sort of thing.
Unfortunately, being that they can seemingly buy and write their own laws in their own (misunderstood) interests before "society" can even understand what's going down before it's too late and society (that's all of us) gets shafted.
I think, besides the current corporate rape, rip and tear mentality, that telecom is to blame or, minimally, shares a rather large portion of fault. These carriers (cable, wireless, phone line, satcoms) can rake it in with multiple fees, high services base rates, overages, advertising, government program fees for subsidizing vapor expansion &c and so on so that Media consistently sees the deliverers get pretty big coin and then wants a bit more of it and the carrier protection racket would rather crimp on paying out by providing us with fucking crap cubed than pay Media for good shit (reality "this" bitches) that Media, in turn, gropes out madly in their all too typical lash out fashion all the while carriers sourced it and ride it (AND help highly questionable government entities without fear of reprisals) and we, WE get to toss coin at all their mad asses, willingly and not so willingly.
And so every little startup that aims to deliver Media's products gets worked because, well, they're really only protecting themselves and always, unwittingly, completely screw themselves whilst trying not to get screwed again deliverer style and as such the customer gets royally screwed and now that it's so far overboard that we, the customers, are now seeing such draconian, harmful, nonsense of a piracy boogie-man around each and every corner that all involved have completely fucking forgotten what it is that they're supposed to be providing.
So, the customer, sees all this, genuinely tries to make everyone happy yet continually and invariably gets screwed out of horridly unreasonable sums of money.
Tell me again why piracy is the root of the problem? Just how many times do I get to watch "Die Hard" with ass dub overs and horrid commercials selling things that I personally, have never, ever purchased, ever and don't plan to? What bloody times are these guys living in that when a customer is thinking "I want to watch this : or I want to listen to this : now" without signing up for completely crap ass services via web, cable, satellite, channel this, package that or what-have-you?
Now bitches! And I'm not fucking joking. Grind it out or we'll find it out - it's just that real. You'll not be able to wish it away, hide it or new law your way somewhere else, else.

Re: Any time you start by writing "yet another report", STOP AND THINK.
Wha-hut the fuck are you railing on about? Are you a nutter?
It's just a little thread about the ongoing story and continuing discussion regarding the introduction and usage and statistics of red light cameras and their handlers.
The number if pissants around here that directly target the folks providing interesting bits about our present realities, typically with ties to technology, is an infestation, a scourge.
If you disagree either say so or move on. Stop blowing your loads in their eyes. Or frigging publish your own blog regarding your own interests and start your own damn ant hill.
Why just last night I was driving, it was a bit wet, and I was heading through an intersection and it turned from yellow to red while I was a) driving the speed limit at best, which was 35 and b) within the length of the intersections lane line and before the light passed overhead. This intersection does happen to have a camera.
It's one of those particularly sucky towns actually. Anyway, the point is that those lane lines should meet or beat the length of a yellow light which corresponds to the speed of a vehicle traveling at the posted speed limit for the intersection. With the exception being lack of a line of course. This provides the driver, any driver, all drivers with the proper information so that they can make an informed and safe decision regarding the operation of their vehicle while traveling within the posted limits.
Make or brake - should not be an exercise left to chance.
Any line length (or other similar measure that relays the same information) less than that is increasing the danger of that intersection. Surprises are not helpful.
Thieving cameras - cameras are thieving, putting safety one notch below where it should be.
Let me try to be as clear and succinct as possible. Not exactly my style but - whatevs.
The desire for a law the likes of PROTECT-IP is going to help your lot is sheer, utter madness. You would have to be completely delirious to the fact that the technological ground shifts at the speed of sound and light, quite literally.
The means to communicate is undergoing tremendous transformations, as I type no less. You will attempt to outlaw the proliferation of files that correspond to and challenge your guarded interpretation of dissemination. You will attempt to utterly cripple sound, secure and dependable communications platforms. You will fail. Do you know why? You will fail because the digital format is ones and zeros. Why is that a failure? It is a failure because if one can formulate a digital message than, clearly, one can formulate a digital file.
The *only* and I do mean fucking *only* way you are going to ensure that you survive, your business, remaining in charge of your business, is to provide. Provide your product. Provide your product on *modern* terms. That's it. It's that simple. It. Is. That. Simple.
Communication on this planet is now. Not Fed-Ex, not UPS, not G.O.D. Now, as in "click Submit".
I am strangely attracted to your AC icon. It's so beautiful.
"This is a simple issue that you people are trying to FUD up with a bunch of nonsense. "
It is not a simple issue. You are attempting to oversimplify a rather complex issue.
To just as soon shit on any random artist in such a way belies your "for the artist" rhetoric.
Many of the outlets for this type of artist that does take advantage of "can do whatever they like" will all too easily fit neatly into the definition of a block list. It will only take one "nay".
By its very nature this proposed set of laws is, by definition, fear, uncertainty and doubt ( FUD ). Courtesy of people that are afraid.
Embrace your customers with better services, regardless of their location, for on this planet, even if you were not aware, communications are near-real time (Welcome). Reassess release windows, dare to become something other than the proven (time and time again) fuck-twats that you are.
"Pretending this bill is going to do anything but what it says it's going to do is pure FUD."
The mere fact that you've alluded to what it cannot do means one of two things:
1) You're a fucking liar
2) All possible interpretations have already been scrutinized and the inherent flexibility of the text thus ensures effective application on multiple facets of litigation benefiting your keepers directly.
Given the inherent short-sightedness of the industry that you represent I'm going with 1).
Because it's a lying pussy bitch. Were it truly to believe its charges are not a direct affront to communication between individuals and parties of like-minded folks, a direct assault upon the recent flowering of voices, culture, dissent, change and progress it would have long ago resigned its self to the comforts of ignorance and not allowed its self to become a tool of industry. Merely a tool.
It can be considered entertainment to make it writhe and watch it careen about the stadium in mindless fury. All for free no less.
It is a mere distraction whilst the ongoing destruction of a free civilization is blocked in - brick by brick - yet again. Only this time the choices of the governed will be molded into an iron fist that will destroy the oppressors. To tempt the unknown is to fall victim to it. To attempt to change the known is to self-destruct.
Its obvious representation of the old-guard of culture is clear indication of the control this guard exerts across multiple facets of culture - they too shall fall.
Deep down it knows: We will not be controlled. We will not tolerate censorship under any guise. The revolution will be communicated. The revolution will be shared. "WE" will not stop.
