We, as well as many musicians, took our site down on the 18th and linked to the anti - SOPA/PIPA website. The bill is horribly written, with the most important part being NO recourse. Say you post a photo of your child at a McDonald's. The photo AND THE SITE THE PHOTO IS ON can both be taken down, and there is nothing that can be done.
Some of our music files have been pirated. Our only recourse is to "join" ASCAP or BMI (for a fee, of course). And I'm sure either of them are going to be real concerned over a couple of mountain dulcimer players.
I also have absolutely no problem with paying for intellectual property - we do it when we record a song. I have a problem paying lawyers that represent ASCAP and BMI. Several friends have been members of these groups for years and have yet to see ONE check.
