as much as the anti- Online Piracy Act
The short answer is yes can support this act. I had read the bill and do not see any reference to censorship unless one it trafficking ie infringing the copyright of the rightful user.
I always have a strong uncompromising capitalist very of intellectual property rights and a very strong sense of individual and Christian morality.. The rights belong excursively to the owner; the owner has the final authority of distribution and used. NO EXCEPTIONS. The owners can ether charge for the use or give away. To violate the ownership of the media is theft, simply THOU SHALL NOT STEAL. !
No, no, no, no, no, no. The owner does
not have the final authority of distribution and use. One fairly huge exception (at least as it applies to this discussion) is
fair use. Fair use, as we all know, is an
affirmative defense to copyright infringement, meaning you can't claim it until
after you've been indicted, at which point the judge dismisses your case if he/she agrees with you. Even if we accept the questionable premise that copyright violation = theft, people accused of theft get taken to court where they have a chance to prove their innocence or explain their actions. But that doesn't happen with this bill. With this bill, copyright owners can just shut down site before the courts ever enter the picture. If the courts later decide that you weren't violating copyright and what you were doing was fair use all along, well that's just too bad. Your site got shut down anyway.
Yes it might make had on some because take out your YouTube video because of copyright issues my answer do use copyright material or get permission the first place. or find free or royalty free options.
This issue is came home when a few of my pictures were used without my authorization, it way I invoke a creative common 3.0 license.
You're talking about the company that took down a video of a dancing baby because there was copyright music playing in the background. Fair use and totally legal, but apparently nobody cares about such trifling details.
