From the flist:

Spread the word, even you're not a US citizen, it is important for everyone!! It easy to do and it can change everything. More info by clicking on the banner.

Website Blocking

The government can order service providers to block websites for infringing links posted by any users.

Risk of Jail for Ordinary Users

It becomes a felony with a potential 5 year sentence to stream a copyrighted work that would cost more than $2,500 to license, even if you are a totally noncommercial user, e.g. singing a pop song on Facebook.

Chaos for the Internet

Thousands of sites that are legal under the DMCA would face new legal threats. People trying to keep the internet more secure wouldn't be able to rely on the integrity of the DNS system.

Get on the phone and call your representative. Express your disapproval. Tell him or her exactly how you feel, and that you don't support this. Tell your friends to call their representatives, their Congressperson, and complain. Mention that you are a registered voter that takes your civic responsibility seriously and that you will use that vote to express your feelings about this.

“We support the bill’s stated goals — providing additional enforcement tools to combat foreign ‘rogue’ websites that are dedicated to copyright infringement or counterfeiting,” the Internet companies wrote in Tuesday’s letter. “Unfortunately, the bills as drafted would expose law-abiding U.S. Internet and technology companies to new uncertain liabilities, private rights of action and technology mandates that would require monitoring of websites.” The chamber-led coalition in support of the bill includes Walmart, Eli Lilly & Co. and Netflix.

Google and other opponents of the legislation argue that restricting the Internet in the U.S. sets a bad international precedent and that the language defines infringing too broadly.

This Shit is serious business, and has already happened to me :\ so I'm on the bandwagon, of WTF FIX IT YOU ASSHATS.

Eljay might be a dumb ass covered in "not so awesome sauce" but I figure if other people can stick it out with what bullshit is going on right now. I will too. Even barring the fact that I have alot of personal stuff in this journal that if leaked could make me look like a complete fool. But you know what? For right now it's not being leaked, I'm not being made a fool. and Life is pretty good.

So, if you find that you somehow have logged into my account by some miraculous mistake, please see yourself out. I won't ask twice because I'm not going to be nice about it. I will kick your ass. Atleast verbally. And LJ I've got some very VERY strong words for you, you asswipes.

Love is Louder

I don't really have the right ask any of you for help, but I'd like to think that some of you might reply/offer assistance in some way.

Bullying is something I take personal, and Love is louder is a group that for the first time in a while I've been able to sink my teeth into on the internet. (not just because Demi Lovato is involved with it *hits anyone who says it* >\) I have alot of personal traumatic history with bullying and I feel like it's time for baby non-profit Group Voices for Crisis to come together and take a stand against it.

My friend Bevi and I have already picked the song that we're going to be using in the project. Everyone is welcome to be involved. I'm going to present you with all the information you need below.

This is the event we'll be taking part in. It's the one year Anniversary of Love is Louder, and they want people to show what they've got! So we're going to shine as brightly as we can as a community of people (I hope) who care about each other, and other people!

The Song

Tsuji Shion - Ai ga Hoshii yo For those of you who are interested in the song, or might be able to mix for us.

The Lyrics

Here are the Lyrics

How others can be involved

We need a mixer obviously :3 I have both the Karaoke and the original track so that's not a problem. And, Artists would be awesome. The idea is to go over the lyrics and create an image (you can use anime/manga pictures or create your own!) To tell the story of the song and how it relates to Love is Louder. You can also do as people have in the past and take a picture of your self with the words "Love is Louder" written on you (most people do it on the palm of their hand) The whole saying is "Love is louder then the pressure to be perfect" if you want to use it.

Let's get involved and show the world that Voices For Crisis is here! As people sign up I will list there names. This needs to be completed by the 30th, and everything will be complied into a video :3 as many pieces of art, or pictures you can give me... To put into the video I'd be grateful for your help!

P.S. The song when finished will be going to a charity of VFC's choice

Participants:

Rin Lee
Bevi

This is something I'm really excited about. Hell I'm not even sure if I can properly post the link here but we'll see. Musicians for Japan this is a face book "event" but it goes beyond that. If you or someone you know is into music, whether it be singing, mixing, hell even just making graphics for covers or something. Go become apart of this! As people come in we make a list of what they're talents are so that if anyone needs to use them for anything (For instance Gosei Cafe might need to tap some talent) we're able to do that. :3

So go go go go go (P.S. It's a facebook deal so :\ )

Let's get giving to the Relief fund in Japan~!

Who made you King of anything?
