To include the goofy ass guy with the odd quarter helmet shiny thing. We would further like file this brief on why Wil.I,Am, and the group known as Black Eyed Peas, should never be allowed to create what they call a "record" for that shit just sucks. THANKS FERGIE you man you.
1.5/10. All your assertions have been proven false in the very extensive coverage on this website alone. I will explain the Beiber analogy just because it really is a good example of WHY this bill is shit.
Most politicians don't know or care who Beiber is first off. Secondly hes already made it, but perhaps there is another child who has (I use this loosely) "musical talent" who may very well be fined and possibly jailed for singing one of Beiber's songs on youtube. The very thing that help Beiber make it, may put another person in prison.
Money. Lots and Lots of money. They are willing to get as much of it as they can at the expense of those they swore to represent. It should be criminal.
Hows your head feeling? That wall looks like it could go a few more rounds and still not be tired. Are you sure you want to continue this? You could always go pound sand right over there.
You are severely "damaging my calm". You obviously don't troll here often enough, so I am not going to bother re-iterating the multiple points of contention we have with this piece of shit legislation. Perhaps you are content with bending over to the will of a few corporations, but the rest of us would prefer that they grow the fuck up instead of us giving into their pathetic little tantrums.
Perry = bat shit crazy / bigoted / religious zealot.
Romney = Not quite as crazy, but has changed positions more time than a porn star.
Bachman = Bay Shit crazy / doesn't have the experience / would close a non existent embassy in Iran.
Santorum = Google his name says it all.
Paul: Yes, a few years ago he was seen as a psycho outsider with hair brained ideas that would never float. Compared to the Tea Party he is one of the most sane people out there. Compared to the rest of the GOP field hes is the least crazy.

Re: And Google has failed at times too! It's called experiment.
Google has lost money on a number of projects, but so has any other company that tries to be innovative. When working in R&D there really isn't anything that is a clear cut failure. You have now learned one more way in which your goal cannot be acheived. The only ones who would call that a failure are execs who care nothing about what a success may mean, and are only interested in dollars spent.
Google and Facebook are living proof that advertising on the internet can be wildly successful. Where Rupert and other legacy companies got is wrong is that they tried to treat it like they do TV. Its not TV, and there continued push to make it one will hopefully be doomed to failure. Having them tell us HOW we get our content will not be tolerated. We are the consumer and we dictate how we want things to be. Not the other way around.
As soon as the old guard of content gate keepers finally finish their slow walk to death. The RIAA will remain a viper in our world till they can finally be defunded by what remains of the recording industry (note. Did not say music industry)
