    "......President Obama threatened to veto the bill." Suspect, if needs be, he will. Though that could all change later this year.
    What you people have really made me worry about is the hat I've been wearing!

    My tin foil hat didn't work as I expected!

    Dunno what happened really ... it could be another one of those US governmental conspiracy plots against me.

    ... or it may have been that I shouldn't have hidden in the oven ... in a tray, with my legs behind my shoulders ..... and left the oven on at 220°C for an hour and half!


    me and my half baked need to modify proven ideas.

    read the wiki link....so this bill is aimed at online piracy ?...things like pirate bay and the other torrent site ?

    what other knock on effects would it have ?

    I cant see how the demise of torrent sites would be that bad...or any other types of online fraud or piracy ...but im not sure of the added implications either

    The thing is legislation already exists regarding software/copyright theft. Why not amend that legislation to include provisions of reporting by ISP's etc?

    Give the US congress some power and they will use it to throw their weight around.

    They still have an embargo on Cuba, today no trade, tomorrow no 'net for Cuba?
    Technically not that hard to do.

    Bottom line it is bad law! Will it affect AP or me? highly unlikely. But it will end up being used for political purposes.

    The forum you posted in is called Out Of Focus and is a platform to air issues and topics that have no relation to photography - of any nationality. In fact, it is quite the place where you may express ideas such as yours. Where else would you have posted that?

    Here you can rant, rave, and generally be immoderate...
    Your admonition to perform photography is well catered for almost everywhere else.

    Umm. this thread was started by a moderator. Funnily, several members have asked to see some of your photos. So put up or shut-up.

    Member: What has all that got to do with discussing a very relevant subject on an internet forum? Its obvious some members have nothing better to do than complain about other members use of a place to express their views.
    Go outside and take some photographs, come back inside and post them on here for critique and while you are about it offer some constructive critique on other photographers work.
