Already a new bill after SOPA/PIPA. OPEN.
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/n...protect-ip.ars
This one is much lighter than the previous, and the main thing is it is not being drafted behind closed doors. There is even an open forum for discussion about it. Just thought the people here should see this. |

There's no compromise with me, recent events have shown us that they can and will enforce existing copyright laws much to the effect they are intending without the need for any of this. No discussion is required, you need not fix something that is not broken.

Agreed. I will not settle for a compromise. And this seems to be exactly what some of us were saying earlier: Introduce a bill which everyone is against, then introduce a milder bill that people who aren't paying attention will accept.

It sort of addresses the technical complaints about the previous laws.... sort of. It still fails utterly to address the existing problems with copyright, patent, trademark laws and pushes the completely bogus concept of "intellectual property". We've got judges ruling (in the UK) that someone's photo taken from the same spot in London pointing at Big Ben while a red bus went by... constituted copyright infringement. Normally I'd call it an idiot ruling by an outlier judge but this is what the "content gatekeepers" *want*. ACTA, OPEN, whatever.... its a blatant attempt by the MPAA/RIAA/spew at being the owners of all creativity.

Apparently the RIAA is now opposing OPEN. Their grounds are that it won't be effective, because the process will take too long and it will require a bunch of resources that might make it impossible for "small businesses" to protect their intellectual property rights.

Some in the tech community interpret this to be the revealing move that the RIAA really doesn't care about intellectual property rights, they just want control and are using intellectual property rights to ensure that they keep it. Not that it hasn't been suspected for a long time...

And just to keep shining a spotlight in the right direction... who are the pirates (thugs, warlords, rapists, pillagers, gangsters) again?

Dude, e-pirates =/= thugs, warlords, rapists, pillagers, gangsters and drug addicts/dealers. E-pirates are worse than that: they steal intellectual properties. Meaning they steal intellect. So e-pirates steal intellect from Hollywood (if there were any from the start).
