If this bill passes I will disappear like the whirlwind and will never be able to fight the new world order again. Copyrights are a good way to destroy new world order researchers, and that is why the elite has been letting us fight them for so long because they will use copyrights to label us all thieves and sue us for every penny we are worth for copyright infringement.

UPDATE!!! I found the name of the bill and it is S.968. Start calling all your representatives to vote no on the S-968 Senate Bill. It is urgent unless you rather not be legally allowed to get the truth out. If you want to get the truth out then please keep calling and faxing your senators that you want S-968 t0 be thrown in the trash can.

A new bill being supported by the Obama Administration and being sponsored by at least 11 senators of all stripes is being introduced that will threaten news aggregation, truth blogs, documentary filmmakers, political websites, and any website that uses portions or snippets from mainstream media websites or any portion of any copyrighted content.

The bill titled 'Protect IP Act' with the bill number 'GRA11400' hosted on Senator Patrick Leahy's website tells a story that what this bill will do is grant the U.S. Government the power to bring lawsuits against any blog or website that uses any portion or excerpt of any copyrighted materials and obtain court orders requiring search engines like Google to stop displaying links to them. If you don't believe me then read the bill yourself which is 30 pages long right now. In fact I will embed this scary bill from Scribd for any of you who wish to read this bill to confirm what I am saying.
Protect IP Act by Obama Administration and 11 senators - Read this crazy bill!

This bill is yet another bill that will further give the U.S. Government even more power to shut down any website which criticizes the Establishment or any mega fascist Corporation all under the guise of further protecting copyright. The problem with this new copyright bill is that it violates Fair Use Exemptions. This bill also violates the U.S. Constitution because of the fact that they can sue websites and demand that search engines can censor any website that the Obama Administration or the Supreme Court thinks is committing copyright infringement. This bill also means you cannot post any copyrighted images on your website even if it is for an educational purpose because the Federal Government will view your site as willfully infringing another persons content and use that as an excuse to shut down your site and sue you in Federal Court.

While copyright is necessary to a certain extent, we cannot trade our civil liberties and our 1st amendment for more corporate copyright controls.

In fact this isn't the only time the U.S. Government has attempted using copyright or some other do-good method to shut down or control the Internet. The U.S. Government has seized many domains under the guise of stopping pirated video streaming websites, Obama attempted to pass a 'kill-switch' bill plus giving Joe Lieberman the power to shut down any website he wishes with just a phone call, and U.S. authorities have shut down a WordPress host with around 73,000 blogs.

If the U.S. Government has attempted to control and censor the Internet before it will most likely happen again. The establishments agenda is on the wall that they want to either control the Internet to be more like cable TV or have it shut down. The one that told that agenda is non other then Jay Rockefeller.

YouTube - Jay Rockefeller: Internet should have never existed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct9xzXUQLuY)

In fact here is a quote from Wired about this bill threatening bloggers and their 1st amendment rights.

“Both law enforcement and rights holders are currently limited in the remedies available to combat websites dedicated to offering infringing content and products,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), the bill’s main sponsor. The proposal is an offshoot to the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act introduced last year. It was scrapped by its authors in exchange for the Protect IP Act in a bid to win Senate passage.”

Of course they tell you they want to stop counterfeit goods and commercial piracy but what they won't tell you is that they wish to criminalize bloggers for using excerpts and quotations, video embeds of portions of copyrighted videos, news aggregation websites (Even those that use very few paragraphs), and documentary filmmakers since they often reference copyrighted content for their educational documentaries.

This new copyright bill is just another attempt to give Obama the power to shut down any website he wishes under the noble deed of protecting copyrights and putting a stop to the selling of counterfeit goods.

id like to see this bill not pass.. but if it *DOES* pass it might be the end of mainstream media on the net.

If I was a blogger I would simply NOT link or copy *ANY* story from *ANY* mainstream media..

Instead it would be all alternative media..

It might even provide an opportunity for new players in the online news community to break thru and get really big.. or even allow some sort of alternative news cooperative group where information is shared freely through the internet community....

NWO is going to die one way or another.. Theres no stopping us.

Not linking to mainstream media won't matter because the Obama Administration can dictate what is copyright infringement and what is not. Simply mirroring a article from infowars.com or any alternative blog can grant the Obama Administration the right to sue you. Even showing a picture of Obama will mean a lawsuit from the Pentagon!

That is why I worry about this bill! The only protection you can get is that blogs would have to start binding together and give each other direct permission to use their materials on your blog in order to block Obama from suing you or others.

opposition to this bill should be one of the pillars of the Paul campaign. no downside risk, and would bring in new voters. Gene McCarthy almost won NH in 1968 with the votes of college students. Newt is already pandering to the senior citizens so Ron should go with his base, which is the young. Corporate stooge Grassley (R-IA) which makes this interesting.
