REP. ZOE LOFGREN CALLS BILL "THE END OF THE INTERNET"
It's alive! And it's a nightmare.
The rumors were true: The new Blacklist Bill could effectively
destroy YouTube, Twitter, and other sites that rely on user-generated
content by making the sites' owners legally responsible for content
their users post.
It also includes provisions that would make it a felony to stream
unlicensed content -- including cover band performances, karaoke videos,
video game play-throughs, and more.
It's a grab-bag of Halloween goodies for a handful of big
corporations -- but for us it's Frankenstein's monster, cobbled together
from half-born bills, set to suffocate free speech and innovation and
terrorize consumers and Internet users.
Will you use the form at right to ask your Congressmember to oppose the legislation?
