Save the Internet PSA

I made up this old newsreel style PSA to help spread the word about the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act(COICA). It's down right sickening that something like this is even entertained. To jump right to the issue and petition check out Demand Progress.ORG

Now being an artist I'm well aware of protecting copyrights, but something like this isn't how it's done. And as we all know, despite what the entertainment industry claims, a vast majority of any copyrighted content being shared is generally junk. Especially the stuff on the likes of Youtube.

Also you can't really hurt a market that isn't there, and these companies could very easily make their content freely available on their own websites. Or even provide blanket licensing options for websites to cover their content that is shared. It would be very similar to the way TV, Radio, and assorted businesses pay blanket Public Performance licenses for music. They could even request a portion of ad revenue on the pages that their content appears on.

Spread the word, the internet black list must be stopped.
