CROSSTALK - SOPA / PIPA + Copyright Protections

So having my website offline today has been pretty interesting i found myself bored, doing some updating offline and reading a lot of current website. my music site is pretty powerful in the midwest region and chicago and i found some people were stunned at first then read the protest website and they are happy. But i can say in 7 years my website has been on the net it has NEVER been offline for "a protest" or a scheduled downtime like this.

So as many of webmasters i also have my website offline today in response to the PIPA and SOPA legislation that is going through congress. But in reality for a 12 hour to 24 hour suspension on a lot of websites is it really being effective as in what will be the true outcome to this situation.

Remember the Wall Street Occupation sure there was a lot of hype, buzz and press about it but nothing has really been done and they have been doing a ton of work outside the box in the streets (not just online).

So you knock down some major websites for 1 day sure it might disrupt internet traffic but most people will just go oh i will just log in after the protest. Sure it might make people go WTF is going on here but it is just 1 day its not like websites are protesting for say 1 week or even 1 month, you want to really cause some buzz and press knock down a few of these major websites down for 1 month and people would loose there minds without google, wiki or other websites that people survive off of basically.

You really do not understand how co-dependent you are when it comes to search engines, or indexing sites when it comes to your own personal website or branding, everyone has there own unique website they have bookmarked or visit on a daily basis and if this new bill starts to knock down and censor all these websites the internet will be a very lonely place and very empty place, remember back in the dialup internet days something to that degree where the whole .com era was just taking momentum.

As for copyright i am ALL for copyright protection and so fourth i was thinking though instead of just censoring out websites why not put a warning like google does for sites that phish attack or might cause malware? A nice warning that this site might be monitored for copyright infringement and its up to you if you want to visit that website, it would be a simple and easy solution rather then all the search engines and other providers just totally blocking the website or link.

Me being in the music industry i want talent to be heard or listened to or watched i want there song to become a big hit i want there video to be viewed or heard. Its not all about making millions of dollars they always have time to get that later on in time from events or company sponsorships or albums sales at events. As for MP3s well if someone wants to download them they can always find a way to do so, the same for movies and music videos if its on the internet its liable for getting downloaded or ripped.

Eve Arnold, Legendary Photographer of Illuminating Images, Dies at 99

Eve Arnold, who came to be regarded as a grande dame of postwar photojournalism for her bold, revealing images of subjects as diverse as Marilyn Monroe and migratory potato pickers, died on Wednesday in London at the age of 99. Born in Philadelphia on April 21, 1912, Ms. Arnold had lived in Great Britain since 1961.

Her death was announced by Magnum Photos, the photography cooperative to which she had belonged for more than a half-century. She was among the first women Magnum hired to make pictures. Ms. Arnold was a leading light in what is considered to be the golden age of news photography, when magazines like “Life” and “Look” commanded attention with big, arresting pictures provided by photographers who included Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gordon Parks, Robert Capa and Margaret Bourke-White.

Acclaimed for capturing celebrities in intimate moments after winning their trust, Ms. Arnold developed a particular rapport with Marilyn Monroe, the subject of a book of Arnold photographs. Foreshadowing the celebrity portfolios of photographers like Annie Leibovitz, Ms. Arnold captured Joan Crawford squirming into a girdle, Malcolm X collecting fistfuls of dollars at a rally in Washington and James Cagney and his wife doing an impromptu dance in a barn.

But other pictures, just as memorable, were of the unfamous. Among the more than 750,000 Ms. Arnold made were pictures in a South African shantytown, a Havana brothel and a Moscow psychiatric hospital. She documented a small Long Island town, Miller Place, and the first minutes of a baby’s life. She was an official photographer on 40 movie sets.

Her many honors include the Order of the British Empire and the Lifetime Achievement Award of the American Society of Magazine Photographers. She was a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and named a “Master Photographer” by the International Center of Photography in New York, considered by many to be the world’s most prestigious photographic honor.

This piece includes a number of high-resolution black-and-white photographs, as well as two documentary short films.
