On January 19th, at a Campaign Event, Obama sang a bit of Al Green's 1971 Song, 'Let's stay together'. You can find the video of it in Youtube, Hulu, CNN, AP, and Metatube right now.
As Al Green is still alive now, it was a Copyright violation to sing any of this song. As his singing the song has raised the sales of that Al Green song by %490, I very much doubt that he will press charges for this.
President Obama signed the ACTA, making his singing that song then it going online, a open international violation of Al Green's Copyright by that Treaty that the American People had no say about at all.
Now by that list of events, Obama can be charged in violation of the Law that he signed into effect, and every Website that has carried Obama singing that song can be blocked from entering the Internet, and any website that connects to any of those websites are required by that internation treaty to remove all links to those web sites as well. The Associated Press is linked to more than 1,700 Newspapers, more than 5001 television and radio broadcasters, in more than 120 nations. With ACTA that Obama signed, all other nations that joined it could cut the news services of their nation off the internet for his little song!
Obama singing that song would also be a violation of SOPA and PIPA if the internet protest had not work to greatly delay Congress from putting those laws into effect.
BTW, PIPA ansd SOPA are still alive, and no steps have been made to make them better or correct by the US Constitution in any way. Even ACTA is in violation of the Bill of Rights. I guess they are waiting until a political group with a Web site, like this one, is cut off for a copyright violation before a Supreme Court case can shot all three of them down. That might a bit too late.
Did you know Hate groups have copywritten material in the US Library of Congress? That place also has a copoy machine charging about a dime a copy for anything in the place. So do most US Public libraries.
Wild to know that Neo-nazis organizations can use those proposed anti-piracy laws to get US taxpayer's to pay for their operations, and also hurt the US government as well.
Now it is mare than a Communication medium. I think you would have a very hard time finding a Business not connected to the internet in some way, most of them including ways to order products and/or services.
They gavea inflated number of $250 Billion as what they lost from Piracy. The US people most likely spend more than that much on the internet in a few days. When you add in American Major Business making large orders for basic material, they use the internet to organize more money than that in a just a few hours!
I bet most of the MPAA's legal orders for their movies went through the internet most likely several times before they were finially bought by a consumer using Amazon or Ebay!
Major Emergency systems are also connected to the internet, like electrical power, fire, police, Federal Emergency services, even traffic lights!
The other business companies should be very, very concerned about that, not even with the problem with infringing on the 1st admendment of the US constitution, (a action that will really upset the entire US population).
I hope one of the first things they learn is exactly how much money business makes over the internet, both national, and international. They gave a greatly inflated number for the amount of money they have lost from Piracy, at about $250 billion. US business make or prevent the lose of several times that much money per day!
I think the first thing MPAA should learn was how much money the internet makes for them personally.

Income for the Movie/Recording industry
Actually, it is far less than 1% of the total US enconomy.
The Internet control and/or manages more money worth of Material to US businesses in less than a day that the Music/recording produces in a Year!
