Hello there my friends on DA, I know that some of us have been worried about this SOPA bill thing, and I found these videos:
Mike Mozart (JeepersMedia): www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJIuYg… little bit conspiranoic but contains VERY useful information).
John Bain (TotalBiscuit): www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhwuXN…
Another from John Bain (TotalBiscuit): www.youtube.com/watch?v=HriNzs…
Spread the word, mirror these videos, and for those in the US, write to your representatives, we MUST do whatever it is in our hands to stop SOPA from being approved.
Also please take your time to visit these, they got useful information to increase the awareness of this bill:

I really hope that this nonsensical law does not pass, all the pages we like could be shut down, yeah, Deviant Art included, we wont be able to upload artwork, fanfics, etc., even if we dont make profit from it, they will consider it a copyright infrigement, and the worst part is that you can do jail time because of it, and it does not matter ir you are not in the US, this law WILL affect pretty much everyone (see videos)
Spread the word, spread this links, SOPA must NOT pass!
Although, I'm really pessimistic about this, I'm even thinking about stop uploading art..., but I have to say that even if DA gets blocked if this SOPA bill passes, I had a great time here, I met wonderful people, and had a lot of fun .
Comments, suggestions, opinions, etc., are greatly appreciated.
Peace, and thanks for your time.
UPDATE:
Good news, Conservatives are lining up in opposition to SOPA! I hope this is a good sign, it seems that the opposition is growing.

UPDATE:
Lobby shops mistakenly listed as SOPA supporters. It seems that several law firms were listed as SOPA supporters, but that is not true.
Quote: "Several prominent law and lobbying firms found themselves in a decidedly un-festive mood Friday when told the House Judiciary Committee listed them in official documents as supporters of the contentious Stop Online Piracy Act."
Quote: "Officials at two other firms named in the original document confirmed that their organizations do not and have never supported SOPA"

My thoughts on DA's Art Theft stance
I'm actually ok with Deviant Art's stance on this one;
Now, I'm not minimizing your concerns at all given DA's choice of words on this one, but I'll try to give more context regarding this.
I agree that it isn't theft in the strict sense of the word, the reason why is that only what is legally and materially owned can be stolen. To own something you need a legal right claiming PROPERTY. Property can be meaningfully defined only if the owner can enforce the right to exclude others from consumption/use like material objects.
And here I go to the point. People often conflate copying or plagiarizing ideas with theft, in this case and context;
Happy holidays, y'all!!!
Happy holidays to all of you guys watching me, I hope you all had a delicious dinner and a really good time with your friends/family.
Out of curiosity, what you guys had for dinner? I had some raviollis and pork loin. ^^
On a side note, I'm still alive and sorting out some personal issues, I have not abandoned you, more MLP related art is on the way.
Quit startling me, nature!
I was doing some stuff only to get startled by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake, this is the third one in the last 30 days, damn you nature, you are scary.
Estaba haciendo algunas cosas solo para ser espantado por un temblor de magnitud 6.3, es el tercero en los ultimos 30 días, maldita naturaleza, eres aterradora.
Earthquake
Nada mejor que empezar el día con un temblor de 7 grados.
Nothing better than starting your day with a magnitude 7 earthquake.
