  Re: Re: Re: The implications...

  We really have no choice under the treaty signed with the U.S under the last government, the US only has to ask for a citizen to be extradited and no proof has to be shown to our courts or even charges brought. Only that this person is suspect. what is unfair is that if it was the other way round we would have to prove guilt to a U.S court before extradition.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Thanks Mike

  Hi Brian
  First i will checkout your music and if i like it play it on the radio.
  I never see the artist as a problem but the labials as the problem they tie up the artist with contracts which all too often means the artist never gets royalties.
  Also with sopa they seem to be saying that no one can release their own work without going through them or at least RIAA same i guess for movies.

• On the post: Which Is Worse, SOPA Or PIPA? Answer: Both!

  

  mike allen ( profile ), 06 Jan, 2012 @ 12:34pm

  The only part i will accept is zero copyright and the death of all RIAA , MPAA, PRS, PPL etc etc.
