You learn something pointless every day, copyright is in the US constitution. Article 1, section 8, clause 8.
So much for SOPA being unconstitutional!

They really tie themselves into knots over there.
The whole republical vs democrat fight in the USA makes for some interesting reading. Some republican spouting that net neutrality is evil and the big corps are just fine controlling the internet. All cos it was the democrats putting forward net neutrality

There seem to be people who are perfectly happy to have big business control their internet content... its odd. One post likened it to UPS refusing to ship certain goods to your door. The difference is the road to your door isn't owned by UPS for its exclusive use so you just call FedEx and get them to use it. You can't have 2 internet connections down the same wire

Talking of such things... I pay for sky TV but because I don't have sky broadband I can't get sky on demand. And its free, if you have sky broadband. Not that I want it... And not really net neutrality as its Sky's own content on their network. Its not like they are blocking iplayer or 4od.
