It's nice to see AZBilliards taking a stand against this bill. The idea that you could get sued for copyright infringement for posting a video of someone playing pool that you shot with your own camera because the convention centre was playing music is beyond ridiculous.

The problem with the electorate
There are two pieces of legislation that are working their ways through the house and the senate, each with potential far reaching unintended (or maybe intended but covertly so) consequences pertaining to the internet and control of its content. Far too many viewers will actually take the time to read up on the situation, and far fewer will take the time to act - in most cases by simply filling out a form that will automatically email your elected representatives voicing your disdain for their vote for these harmful acts.
The site was not hacked. There were numerous sites that protested these acts today by way of a "blackout". Go AZ for taking a stand and hopefully giving their daily viewers an option to learn more about what their elected legislators are considering.
The legislation is slated to be voted on, however if enough senators and congresspeople hear from their constituents, they may very well change their support for these bills.

Hi all,
One of the reasons I got hooked on UStreams pool coverage was the jukebox playing in the background,in between matches.
So it is 3/4 am here and I'm thinking what is that song in the background ? So I turn up the volume and I can hardly make it out and the next thing I'm racing for the volume control trying to turn it down before the neighbours complain. LOL.
My son said look dad wear these headphones ,problem solved.Same problem folks,I turn up the volume in between commentaries for the jukebox music and when the commentator speaks I'm getting blasted both ears and have to toss the headphones off.
Here is the question.
Does this SOPA rule mean that you can't play the jukebox on UStream pool tournament events, my walk on songs thread & the songs you like to practice to while you are playing thread, will they have to be scrapped?
