A bill is pending in congress that can seriously hurt our First Amendment rights and Popular Culture as we know it. If this bill passes a company can shut down a website for posting a picture of something they own. This can kill pop culture, sites like Tumblr are how pop culture lives on. A lot of the time what happens is someone posts a picture of something from decades ago and it get more and more popular. Then Hollywood catches wind of it and they reboot it in some shape or form. I don’t understand how a bill like this can even be considered. No one can stop online piracy, it’s like terrorism. No one can stop it. This bill is just another way for the man to control everything.
