Under SOPA, you could get 5 years for uploading a Michael Jackson song, one year more than the doctor who killed him… SOPA is a perfect example of legislation born from ignorance and reactive behavior. Yes, piracy is wrong.. but was it wrong when we were children dubbing tapes in a boom box or making mix tapes for our girlfriends. It is high time that the music and video business understand that a government that charges %100 tax and a government that charges 0% tax collect the same amount. When music is affordable, when cable is offered ala-carte so you don’t pay for 50 channels you don’t watch.. people will embrace the payment structure.. More on this to come..
