As the man say: Don’t just reblog this and feel like you helped the world because you’re half-assing it. Sign it. Reblog it. Sign it and reblog it.

I, for one, find Tumblr one of the more reliable sources of information and one of the most up to date. We knew about the content of Obama’s impromptu surprise announcement before he announced it himself, just to name an example. The same difference applies to Youtube, so when I see things like this:

Sssssooooo…the government is enforcing copyright. Without proof or hearing they uproot a UK resident and SHIP HIM OVER to be persecuted in the US. WITHOUT PROOF.

Now we have The IP Act that is on the fast track of becoming a law.

An except that summarizes what this does: “The PROTECT IP Act would allow copyright owners – movie studios and other content providers – simply to accuse a website of infringement, which could lead to that site being shut down by court order and entire links to the site being wiped clean from the Internet.”

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that if you even pass a disagreeable fart, a big angry fist will punch you in the butthole and seal said butthole forever.

WHERE’S OUR SHIT GONNA GO?

So the title of this, while an exaggeration of something that hasn’t happened, is a very real possibility and it’s so close to happening.

Don’t just reblog this and feel like you helped the world because you’re half-assing it. Sign it. Reblog it. Sign it and reblog it.

Well, shit.

I like a lot of things.  Some of these things are social networks, having a viable career, and the ability to post media online.  In one way or another, I rely on all of these to spread my music around and gain a bit of credibility here and there so when I do get in deep with the music business, I don’t look like some talking head who’s chained to the radio antenna.

For the first time in ages, I can use the phrase ‘for great justice’ in a justifiable manner.  This goes above and beyond justice; it is, simply put, the ending of social media as we know it.  Not only does this bill completely miss the point, but it also restricts our access to anything that has some sort of cultural influence, i.e. ART.

If you didn’t hear the man, sign that shit.  Reblog.  Hopefully we’ll wake up 5 years from now and not be driven around by the ever-preset din of FM.
