((it’s still protecting copyrighted material with the recent ham-fisted and unmonitored way this has been hampering many of the reviewers I follow on Youtube it’s easy to get blind sided

[[ I admit I haven't done much research into claims like "Piracy is costing companies X amount of money"-- but what I have read doesn't seem to have much actual proof-- just companies freaking out about OMG INTERWEB PIRATES STEALING OUR STUFF. There doesn't seem to be much actual evidence behind a lot of those claims, either-- just estimates.

benjiswill replied to your post:There is no SOPA 2014.

I had thought it was related to something similiar, shows I’m a fucking moron I guess (since there are other things I’ve been involved in trying to stop that are very close to SOPA)

[[ Of course you're not a moron! It's just that Tumblr can be very, very, VERY bad when it comes to providing accurate information.

It's really easy to get caught up in that, especially since SOPA (the real one) was such a trainwreck-- not to mention some of the other similar "protective measures" people want to push through.

(That's still the platform, isn't it? That they're just trying to protect companies from losing profits? Or are we tilting towards a What About The Children mentality?)

Blue Skies

Genre: Musical

Identity: Will Brandt, retired detective.

Summary: Will's had enough of the city life, enough of crime and punishment, of violence and lies. He gave up his practice and retired to the country: to peace, and sunshine, and fresh air... and if he's a little bit bored, well, it's kind of a nice change.

But he does have a lot of spare time on his hands, so he starts looking into hobbies-- like learning the piano-- which is how he meets an aspiring young pianist. Unfortunately, his prospective new friend (and maybe more) has his eyes fastened on life in the big city.

Conflict: Will doesn't want to go back to urban life; but staying put may mean losing the man he's learning to love.

Theme song: "The Quiet Life"

Most popular song: "Seven Years Per Week"

Most parodied song: "Nobody Asked You To"

Your fandom: has a sub-culture devoted to learning how to compose music.

Popular OTP: Will / Benji

Joke OTP: Will / NYC

Changing Partners (comedy / romance / espionage): Just once, Will Brandt would like to have a mission go smoothly. Just. Once. But when his regular partner ends up in the hospital in the middle of an important mission, Will finds himself assigned a total rookie, a computer geek with almost no field training. And if that wasn’t bad enough, Will finds himself unexpectedly, inappropriately attracted to his new partner….

Okay. We can do this. Just keep a smile on your face and pretend everything’s all right.

"Such nice music," she said, smiling up at Will as they danced, making their way slowly through the crowded floor. The brilliantly-lit ballroom was full of people, about a third of them at least slightly tipsy on very good champagne, all talking, laughing, dancing, socializing.

It was a shame that they couldn’t just enjoy it, but at the moment, they were both focused on the mission: Their partners were being held somewhere in this building; Will and Ilona were going to find them and rescue—

There was a low, deep THOOM— the sound of an explosion.

Everyone on the floor froze, and then the room dissolved into partial panic, as people began to rush the doors.

Will looked at her, and they both shrugged, then began to carefully push in the opposite direction, losing themselves in the chaos and noise.

"Guess they’re rescuing themselves," Will said, drawing his handgun as they slipped out of the room.

"Guess we’ll be doing paperwork for days," Ilona sighed, getting her taser out.
