I have never understood how one can find just about every piece of music every recorded on YouTube. It is to the point where it is the first place I go to hear a song I cannot find. Now people are all upset over SOPA and PIPA as for some reason they feel entitled to this content. Back in the 70s there was a big deal over cassette tapes and boom boxes with tapes made from record albums. Musicians where really concerned that it was piracy. We as usual seem to accept the piracy of corporations (yes, google does make a ton of money on youtube and this pirated content) but take a college student to task over some mp3s. I tend to side with the creators of art and let us not be coerced by internet giants such as google. Google is a facilitator of this piracy. Wikipedia is another matter. Below is the part of the bill that seems of interest.
