Re: these aren't the droids you're looking for :P

The bill isn't about far right or far left discussing options, its about industry lobbyist trying to legislate profit retention by protecting IP.

The internet is changing who profits from content, and everyone is trying to protect their piece. On one hand, I do believe that old ways are not sustainable, and policing the internet is a futile task. On the other hand, IP law is intended to protect and incentivize innovation, which is a critical part of the economy.

I can sympathize with this view since I plan on generating IP at some point in the future.
