Tennessee's Super-DMCA Rises From The Grave
Tsar writes "Members of the Tennessee Digital Freedom Network turned out in force as Tennessee's Super-DMCA Bill, its hour come round at last, slouched back to Nashville's Legislative Plaza.

My favorite quote of the day: 'I stand here before you as representing the MPAA, one of the leading advocates of First Amendment rights...' I think I blacked out for a minute after that."

Ask an artist about the 1st amendment and how it applies to the RIAA or the MPAA (I only know first hand about RIAA). The freedom of Speech is basically this, "I (the RIAA) say that you owe me money. By the way thanks for writing the songs." The RIAA is a bunch of sanctioned felons who have no place in the halls of congress, senate, the mayors office or the Citgo shitter for that matter.
