*ALL DIGITAL PHOTO FILES OR WEBSITES CAN HAVE &quot;META-DATA&#8221; DESCRIBING THE BINARY MACHINE-READABLE DATA INCLUDED RESULTING IN DISPLAY OF ART.*

This has been true since before internet wire communications were developed to generally replace telegraph wire communications internationally. See 47 USC &#167;153 &#182;(&quot;52&quot;:http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/usc_sec_47_00000153----000-.html#52)
  
All photo files can be marked as to the binary content resulting in the photograph being displayed by the application whether that be a web browser or offline application.  These  are similar to the ??optional?? alt tags in HTML. Most internet wire communication are illegal already and this will soon be addressed.

The obvious definition is linked above from law.cornell.edu.

SOPA and EVERY other IP bill will soon become entirely insignificant in comparison to enforcing laws already passed and ignored.

FREE SPEECH will finally occur online and &quot;rights&quot; to exclusively control attribution of copies will occur.    </content>

Here is an article on how the PIPA vote will work:

http://www.publicknowledge.org/blog/pipa%E2%80%99s-january-24th-vote-and-how-filibuster-w

To help destroy PIPA, the following senators would be the best ones to call:

Harry Reid:  (202) 224-3542
Ron Wyden:  (202) 224-5244
Jerry Moran:  (202) 224-6521
Maria Cantwell:  (202) 224-3441
Rand Paul:  (202) 224-4343

Please call as much as you can between now and January 24.  During your call, please address the following points about SOPA for consideration:

(1) The bill is deeply flawed and would cause crippling, lasting damage to the Internet.
(2) It is one of the worst pieces of IP legislation; this would be an incentive for it not to pass.
(3) This bill is deemed unconstitutional and could affect freedom of speech.
(4) If PIPA is defeated, the general public will feel relieved.
(5) On OpenCongress.org, 98.4% of users oppose PIPA.

(6) The cell-phone robocall bill (H.R.3035) has already been defeated, and was not brought to the floor for a vote; the same thing could happen to PIPA.
(7) It would be a step backward in the Internet revolution if PIPA was passed.
(8) It is not certain whether the President will veto PIPA, should the bill make it onto his desk.
(9) It would destroy innovation and small businesses.

Try to call as often as you need to.  The more people that call Congress, the sooner we can get rid of PIPA.    </content>

*(52) Wire Communications*

The term &#8220;wire communication&#8221; or &#8220;communication by wire&#8221; means the transmission of writing, signs, signals, pictures, and sounds of all kinds by aid of wire, cable, or other like connection between the points of origin and reception of such transmission, including all instrumentalities, facilities, apparatus, and services (among other things, the receipt, forwarding, and delivery of communications) incidental to such transmission.

Do you even know what you're talking about? Say you make a video and post it on youtube. In it, you quote your favorite movie, maybe do an impression, just for fun. Or you sing a few bars from a song your kids taught you this morning.

How could anyone support this? Unless you are getting your pockets lined with money from the recording industry that is. 

Not only a significant breach of human rights, but would put institutionalize government censorship of the internet. Totally ridiculous and I'm shocked this bill has even been thought of in our so called &quot;free&quot; democracy.     </content>

1) how will ANYTHING cripple wire communications?
2) Worst by who's standards? DMCA encourages IP theft.
3) Who DEEMED it unconstitutional. What portion does it violate?
4) *I will not care at all nor will millions.*
5) Evolution has no direction.
6) VETO doesn't matter.
7) Innovation of ways to &quot;hack&quot; and circumvent these laws has already begun.
8) OPEN just replaces the justice department with the immigration department and gives all US sites a free pass as is unconstitutional on its face.

Your best chance to stop these 2 bills is if your elected idiots believe the whining masses who &quot;click&quot; protests and call or email numbered lists of idiotic allegations like @walker7 has posted are *voters*. AACK  Ha

??&quot;internet&quot;??  wire communications are mostly illegal now.  FCC ignores the mission to regulate ALL wire communications.  Whine louder but 2 + 2 can only be 4.

Our best chance to stop PIPA and/or SOPA can be done if you have an in-person meeting with your senators.  Make sure that we get at least 41 senators to agree to block the vote.  The address is:

http://act.fightforthefuture.org/page/m/2e1f206a/1d1430a9/71cb3912/f863e52/2427177326/VEsH/p/eyJKU1ZUVkVGVVJWOUJRa0pTSlNVPSI6Ik5DIn0=/

Please make sure you tell them that PIPA (1) will cripple the Internet; (2) it's the worst piece of IP legislation, an incentive for it not to pass; (3) it's deemed unconstitutional; (4) if these bills are defeated, the general public will be relieved; (5) it would be a step backward in the Internet revolution if it was passed; (6) it isn't certain whether the President will veto this bill; (7) it would destroy innovation and small businesses; and (8) Darrell Issa and Ron Wyden already have the alternative to both bills, which is OPEN.

If we succeed, we will no longer have to worry about PIPA and/or SOPA.    </content>

&quot;Folsom v Marsh, 9 F.Cas. 342 (1841)&quot;:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#Fair_use_under_United_States_law

Fair-Use or the exception to author and inventor exclusive rights to a creation or discovery made the Copy[rite] Act unconstitutionally vague in 1976 in addition to the fact that the rite was not accessible for paupers.  The Act had been a rite or regulation for copying art and discoveries for the ??&quot;Barons and Nobles&quot;?? in the United States that was only enforceable by courts if ??&quot;licenses to sue&quot;?? had been purchased. 

Google Inc Attorney, Michael Henry Page Esq, stated purchase of ??&quot;licenses to sue&quot;?? are required for enforcement of copy rites although copy[rites] occur when a camera's shutter is released.
*Yes, RITES and NOT &quot;rights&quot;.*

SOPA alleges to encourage copy[rite] enforcement and Google is fundamentally opposed as should be expected.  Google Inc exists exclusively because of unfair uses of &#167;107 or unconstitutional United States' fair-use.    </content>

Actually, fair use allows for many of the day to day unauthorized uses of copyrighted material. However, the boundaries between fair use and infringement are not always clear. Part of the reason this legislation would cause so much damage is that it would cause a chilling effect on fair use, because it forces those who host websites to self-police and error on the side of not permitting fair use. Those who do not self-police run the risk of truly dire consequences, quite possibly without even a day in court.    </content>

Hope you don't like Youtube, Pandora, Spotify. They will all cease to exist if this is passed. Post a like to a song you like to twitter, facebook, myspace or any other and you are in violation also. Next you can't listen to music in your house or car with the windows open so other people hear it. Small bands doing cover songs will be next on the hit list. After awhile all you will have access to is government run web sites and then they will start telling you what to think.      </content>

Opposing this bill is tantamount to opposition to private property rights.   

Support the Protect IP Act of 2011 if it is changed to be enforceable and to define theft of IP as a crime that requires the thief to pay restitution for each violation to each citizen/victim of the theft.  The analogy I would offer is similar to the theft and sale of credit card information. If someone comes into a place of business and transacts business, the business is entitled to use the credit card information only for purposes of the current transaction.  If it collects and sells that information to another party, that is treated as theft.  The same should hold for any information disclosed by one party to another party.  

Further, in the Protect IP Act of 2011, the very definition of those who are subject to the act &#8211; an entity &#8220;dedicated to the infringement of IP&#8221; puts an unreasonable burden on enforcement to prove that the entity is &#8220;dedicated&#8221; to infringement.      </content>
