Austin Powers in Mass Effect: Part 1

sick of this shit

I don’t think people realize just how draconian and horrifying this is, and they’re keeping it that way, because this is a “must-pass” bill forced into a federal spending bill and if this isn’t included in it, then the government will be forced to shut down during the pandemic and during a time of massive poverty and hunger and homelessness

In essence, this law seeks to criminalize DMCA violations, whether it be copyrighted music included in a tiktok or instagram video, copyrighted footage of a movie on youtube, or copyrighted music in a twitch vod, not with a DMCA strike or a take down, but fucking imprisonment

Senator Thom TIllis, the wretch forcing this shit into law, is backed by Creative Future, a lobbying group consisting of corporate lawyers and lobbyists for the entertainment industry, which, under the name Creative America back in the early 2010′s, were the ones behind the SOPA/PIPA bills that would’ve drastically controlled communications on the internet and given control of it to corporations

This doesn’t appear to be reversible as trying to veto this legislation would shut down the federal government. It isn’t just a major blow to creativity and freedom of expression that will force streamers and social media personalities into totalitarian servantry under the command of massive media corporations, but opens the doors for the total annihilation of freedom of speech online.

This kind of story happens every time a big CR comes around. One Senator pushing for a piece of legislation in a (especially short term) funding bill doesn’t mean it’s already there. Its reversibility is less important than the sheer fact it’s so unlikely to get/stay in. Everyone has a wishlist of items for CRs, this isn’t even funding related, and no one in the House Dem caucus, or anyone outside Tillis for that matter, has shown any strong desire for this, and it’s already gotten some negative press. Sure, it’s possible and it never hurts to voice opposition, but it’s important to keep the perspective that it’s not some vital element to the CR passing/that it’s already in the CR.

Also, the House today (12/9) passed a 1 week funding bill anyways, When they’re on such short timescales, I don’t think anyone is in the mood for this fight right now. There’s enough to negotiate over on COVID relief, etc.
