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.
