Site-Blocking Legislation Is Back. It’s Still a Terrible Idea

More than a decade ago, #Congress tried to pass #SOPA & #PIPA —two bills that would have allowed the gov & #copyright holders to shut down entire websites based on allegations of piracy. The #backlash was immediate & massive. Internet users, #FreeSpeech advocates, & tech companies flooded lawmakers with protests, … in an “Internet Blackout” on Jan 18, 2012. Turns out, Americans don’t like gov-run #blacklists

Over twelve years later, I'm one of the last few people that still upholds the ideals of the #BlackMarch of 2012 against #SOPA and #PIPA by purchasing and viewing next to no copyrighted content... due to being strapped for money to be honest! http://web.archive.org/web/20120423070423/http://www.black-march.com/

Oops, forgot to write an intro!

I'm a #composer and pro #guitar player who's always looking for more #gamedev folks to make #music with. Would love working on a long term project. Also available for string instrument recording.

Interested in #languages other string instruments #lute #oud #pipa etc., #videogames (obvs), #diy and leftie politics.

Going back to school soon, so if anyone else is a #MatureStudent we can commiserate.

I bought this project Pipa years ago before moving abroad and never got to finish. It’s remained in decent shape but it’s back in my hands and I’m looking forward to getting it fixed up for library recordings
