Hey guys! Thanks for watching, I respect you for making me big - Im tearing my page down if this bill goes through.

Thats kind of oxymoronic....Sort of....

How much would it cost to copyright something? I am just curious.

I respect that you should tear the page down if the bill passes. It is unjust, from what I've heard, north of the border. It should not happen, and I agree with your disgust that this is even being considered.

[TolstoyKafkaEvsky]

Well, I'm not sure how much it would cost, but I can't afford to copyright EVERYTHING I DO. Anyway...

god america sucks!!!!

Dude, how would you think that taking things that you do and saying " you have to pay for this for it to be yours " be a GOOD IDEA? How could anyone think it would be a good idea to draw a stick figure and name it fred and then have to pay for it? You are a stupid Americanized fuck.

This can't happen their r 2 many original things out their and it's almost like stealing other people's work if this bill passes

ok i just looked the orphan works bill up, and it looks like this is an old issue that has already died. it was never passed in congress in 2008 or 2009. BUT, it can be brought up as new legislation again if someone wants to bad enough. Am i wrong? because i couldn't find anything current on this bill.

[theCosmicQueen]

google will go out of business if they want this, because everyone will withdraw their stuff by the billions of images and articles and posts. myspace will go out of business, every site will too wherever people post anything.

[theCosmicQueen]

yeah, this should be posted and spread all over the net, saturation is the key. (so then they will come get this video, register it and take it away from you so no one can hear what you just said....) see how they can control our posts and our media, our cartoons, etc, so the words we say on video cannot be published or seen or heard? IF THEY OWN THE RIGHTS, THEY CAN SUPPRESS IT, CAUSE IT NEVER TO BE HEARD OR SEEN AGAIN! NO MATTER WHAT YOU WANT FOR YOUR OWN VIDEO MESSAGES!

[theCosmicQueen]

DUDE. do you realize, they (such as Google) are hiding in the shadows, waiting to pounce, on all these billions of users who have trusted the laws that protect us. SO, we put a ton of our stuff out there in public, thinking it was safe. Others have copied and pasted, embedded, or whatever, til it is all over the place and we cannot retrieve all of it. SO now they think they have us in their greedy paws, and all of a sudden they attack, to scoop up everything we trusted to them on their service.

this is stupid, even though we are just normal people they are our creations!

[Drelvon]

Oh my, is this, still floating around???? It'

s crazy!!

[spiritwolf596]

Ever since I learned about the orphaned works act, I've felt like I'm projectile vomit out of every orifice. Why would they do that?! It is possibly the stupidest thing in the history of america.

Lol, well, if IT does pass, Google will find out the hard way that what they like ain't there no more.
