While everyone is on SOPA\/ProtectIP\/PIPA and the just-as-much-fun international-treaty version known as ACTA: when you read this article on how the DMCA is already abusive enough<\/a>, you might want to also keep this in mind: I’ve had three of my own videos<\/a> flagged<\/em> as DMCA violations.<\/p>\n

That’s right, my own videos<\/a>, me, doing my own music, or trad, live, flagged for DMCA, three times<\/em>. Under SOPA, PIPA, or any variant thereof, I’d’ve had to sue<\/em> to get back online.<\/p>\n

Tell me this won’t be used to smash independent artists. Go ahead, tell me that, while I laugh in your face<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And yes, I had content go offline thanks to the Megauploads takedown, too. Fanac stuff, and of course I have copies, but nonetheless.<\/p>\n

There’s talk of Black March: buy no music, books, movies, etc, download no music, books, movies, etc. Guys, I’m not the problem<\/em>? People like me aren’t the problem? Please try to stay focused. Even with major publishers, I’m divided; I really do see the point, but you’re going to hurt starting authors and midlisters far more than you’re going to hurt any publishing house. At least, in books. (If they’re in music and on a label, they’re already screwed.) I know someone who has a series starting in March. The first book’s March sales will determine whether she gets Book 2.<\/p>\n

To with: nngh.<\/p>\n

But, of course, I gave my rather extensive opinion about what to do that will work on Wednesday<\/a>. I know, I know, it’s TL;DR – I wish I’d been able to make it shorter, but I wasn’t.<\/p>\n

Show with Leannan Sidhe and Kr\u00e4ken-R\u00f6hl next Friday! I’ve been rehearsing my set, looking forward to it. Please grab and print and post posters<\/a>? Thanks!<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Other than that, I’ll be one-daying Rustycon as soon as weather permits, which probably means Saturday. Given the TOTALLY AWESOME snowstorms we’ve had this week (photos at link)<\/a>, I admit I kind of do not envy their transportation department. Good luck, guys! And everyone else, too.<\/p>\n

Have a good weekend! Say hi if you see me at Rusty. ^_^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
