You lost me. What would being able to freely copy lower the barrier to entry of? How would it spur a creative renaissance?

Learn to code. Lots of resources out there now and u can do this while hunting for a job. With your business experience I think if you had the ability to create the system then you'd be golden.

To make rent, join up as a salesperson someplace - REI is a great job. Actually I found a friend a job there who was in exactly your shoes.

You really need to learn to detach yourself from labels and words. It's not easy but I think it's the only way an entrepreneur can succeed without going insane.

Right now focus on getting any job at all that will pay rent. Recruiter, market research, REI sales, retail, - hit all possibilities.

Then learn to code part time. Then get a coding job at startup. Then startup. Yeah it's 2 year plan but it's doable and for the next 10 years you'll have a job that pays you at least 100k.

What can users outside of the U.S. do to support this effort?

Readers who don't live in the United States can contact their local State Department,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or similar branch of government.
Tell them that you oppose the draft U.S. SOPA and PIPA legislation, and all similar legislation.
SOPA and PIPA will have a global effect - websites outside of the U.S. would be impacted by legislation that hurts the free and open web.
And, other jurisdictions are grappling with similar issues, and may choose paths similar to SOPA and PIPA.

"A significant decline", not a total collapse. Prior to IP laws, individuals took matters into their own hands to prevent losses due to plagiarism. I wouldn't be surprised if the removal of legal protection would lead to more ubiquitous and intrusive DRM.

That said, one potential advantage is that if content is being produced simply because creation is human nature, rather than because a similar item sold well last year; it could lead to higher quality output.

I think rather than saying that this is an abuse of power, MPAA with its massive lobbying power should really reconsider its position. Lobbying was particularly helpful way to reduce information inefficiencies to the government prior to the existence of the internet. The opinion of the smaller, individual voters would only be reflected on a voting day, hence every 2 or 4 years depending on if we are talking about a congressmen or a senator. However, with the progression of free flowing information, aka the internet, the opinion of the public became more readily available, to a point where it is in direct competition with an older form that is the lobbying system. Of course, I'm not saying that lobbyists are completely obsolete. But what I am saying is that the new form of information and opinion expression using the internet will take a bigger and bigger share of the way the constituents actually express themselves to the politicians. Hence, instead of complaining about it, they really just got to embrase it, and learn that what if they are indeed plotting to hurt the consumers, that even if they go around the consumers and directly to Washington, they will not be able to get away with it without consequences.

Green is terrible.

The ultimate response to those who try to legislate against piracy for years has been to point out that there is no paid service which is as convenient as other unpaid, illegal ones (bittorrent or usenet, for instance). This is just one of the few unfortunate times where it makes fiscal sense for corporations to try to change the laws rather than innovate.

They might say "you could never get every movie/album/piece of software in one place like that! It would be an organizational nightmare!" Given no other option, however, they will be forced to innovate.

I own Blu-rays that have anti-piracy ads that I can't skip through before I watch the movie. That alone shows how screwed up this situation is.
Does the US State Department actually tell legislators when foreigners oppose laws they are considering? To what extent do US legislators allow that to sway their decision?
Sure, but then we have to oppose it when our own countries attempt to introduce that law here. Whether SOPA/PIPA pass has no influence on this (see e.g. Spain).
If the correlation between SOPA awareness and HN user is indeed 99.9%, we need to find a website that has close to 0%. cough MySpace cough Could this bring web attention back to the decaying social network? Stay tuned.

> Granting such monopolies may have been a necessary compromise when copying and distribution was costly. A better system that maximizes returns for a larger group should be possible today

That's actually backwards. The more costly copying and distribution are, the LESS you need any kind of copyright protection, because the original author/publisher can capture almost all of the market value before the copiers can get their copies produced.

There was a famous article on this by Stephen Breyer, before he was a Supreme Court Justice:
Stephen Breyer (1970). "The Uneasy Case for Copyright: A Study of Copyright in Books, Photocopies, and Computer Programs". Harvard Law Review 84 (2): 281–355

I tried to find an online copy of this, but failed.
> pay taxes (higher as a contractor)

Depends where you live, in the UK I pay a flat 20% (after income and expenses). My monthly costs in London add up to about $2k. So that leaves me about $15k. Not quite as much as the OP but give me a couple more years of experience and I'll be able to put my rates up.

I'm not from the US. Is there anything I can do to help oppose SOPA/PIPA?

So far I've assumed I'm not eligible to call US senators/ congressmen, or sign the whitehouse.gov petition. Am I wrong about this? Is there anything else I can do instead?

All the blackout messages I've seen today don't appear to have much info for the rest of the English-speaking world about what we can do to help.
One might say that it's a super computer. What's the question again?
When information is a given, people will focus on the things more important to us than information. I imagine in 2112 (if humankind is still alive...) they will look back at this time and wonder why the hell we were so obsessed with information. Just like we look back at the 1800's and wonder why they were so obsessed with transportation and railroads. We move to the next stage, whatever that might be.
Thank god! I'd take anything in exchange for that late 1990s era design.
Shahrukh Khan Kissing Katrina Kaif At Colors Screen Awards

> I (perhaps foolishly?) believe that America has the opportunity to be a role model for the rest of the world in terms of how a society can work.

Yes, you believe foolishly. See below for why.

> But for all its problems, America has a lot going for it. It's a relatively free society, there is social mobility (more for some than others, it's true) and it's a nice place to live, even just in terms of its geography. (I live in California and so that of course will make me biased). Consider - America is a country that, despite all its problems, people risk their lives to get into. There's a simple reason why America continues to attract illegal immigrants - it's better than wherever they came from.

Background: I am an United States citizen now working in northern Europe.

To quote a TED Talk, "If you want the American Dream, move to Denmark."

The United States is not a free society. Is it more free than China? Yes. Is it more free than the majority of the OCED? No. They have gotten very good at selling the "American Dream", that is the sole reason people still risk their lives to get into it.

The dream cracked for me when I realised that despite 10 years of programming experience, I could not get a job in the U.S.; whereas, one month after searching for work in Europe and I had a job offer.

"Well, why didn't you start your own business in the U.S.?" My answer is simple: I am sick of living "at the pleasure of the king". To live in the U.S. is to be constantly unsure of where you stand with respect to the law. This applies doubly so if you start a business.

This problem with the law results from two positions:

1. Ignorance of the law is not a defence.

2. Interpretation of the law can change.

This brings up some major problems. Principally, how can I know the law if the interpretation (and thus the application) of the law is not constant? Add in low levels of corruption (on average, the bad ones are really bad) and different application of the law as a function of a person's class and you might begin to understand why I want no part of living at the pleasure of the king.

Heheh, and yet The Pirate Bay (and lots of others), have a single site with lots of things. It might be a nightmare, but not only can it exist, but it does exist.

I am always amazed that the pirate/P2P swarm essentially distributes thousands and thousands of films/tv shows/music for free. Distribution is now free! You don't need to pay to copy your bits! Your users will do it for you, for free!

Thanks! :-)

I also have a hard time understanding how someone could have such a high quality daily blog and get much else done. I struggle to post once or twice a month.

I'm not quite sure how I do it either! I think there's a certain rhythm that comes out of writing something every day. It's like the anecdote about the pottery teacher who asked graded half his class on the weight of the pots... the more you do, the easier it gets to keep on doing it.

Unfortunately this last week I haven't quite kept to my daily rhythm... but I've got 2 more articles in the queue now, so the rest of this week is covered. :-)

Perhaps worth also noting that these days I wake up around 5-6am, and my first priority is usually to get a blog post written. That might take an hour or two, then I get on with my day...
I thought that bit was really interesting. The MPAA and other SOPA supporters adamantly maintain that the law would only serve to enforce copyright infringement. Is Chris Dodd trying to say that Google, Wikipedia, etc. have an interest in preserving piracy? Or, more likely, is this simply a rhetorical contradiction?
I'm pretty much down to the same conclusion, personally.

I'd happily pay a recurrent, if modest, sum of money for the ability to legally and easily download not only newer but, more importantly, older and more obscure movies and television series to my computer in the form of convenient unencumbered .avi|.mkv|.mp4 files, from a catalog whose selection and quality matches the level of service of the 2010's.

If MAFIAA offered that, with a credible promise that the material will be there ten years from now, I would not only pay for the content but not bother to stash a single file onto my external hard disk. Because of the high level of sophistication when it comes to the selection, quality, and availability of the content it would be far more convenient to just pay again to redownload what I want to see again.

Pay-per-view is exactly what the studios are dreaming of but it's not going to happen through restrictions, but through unrivalled convenience only.
I quite like it. I don't think it's too bad as a standalone site but compared the previous one, it's amazing.

I do like the documentation menu. Similar to the way Codeigniter does it.
The juxtaposition of the "A better way to blog" and a gallery of censored layouts is beautiful. Congratulations to the team!
Testing Your Templates, and Why It Doesn't Always Work
I'm a pirate because my third world city doesn't have a single physical place I can buy or rent dvd's or cd's.

I have only two options... to buy bootleg copies off the street, or visit tpb/demonoid. Buying bootleg copies off the street is actually cheaper because of the very high cost of bandwidth/data here, but I pay an extra USD$50/mnth for a higher datacap for the convenience of downloading.

Also, iTunes/appstore doesn't support my country, so I can't buy from there either.
At some point, someone has to devise a purely-virtual solution: You should be able to buy 'virtual tickets' that give you the right to download a movie from anywhere you want. People making use of music in their videos would be required to have a link to buy the ticket. I think the idea of charging for "digital copies" doesn't make sense anymore, because it has zero scarcity, same goes with "digital performance"
What San Francisco Real Estate Tells Us About This Technology Boom
I should add that yes, I follow or have followed most of the strategies I talk about, and when I haven't used them myself, I say so!

My posts are based on direct personal experience. In some cases the "lesson learnt" may be anecdotal/deeply contextual, but I usually take pains to follow my own advice in http://swombat.com/2011/1/20/how-to-write-good-startup-advic... and make the context clear so that the reader can decide if this is useful advice for them.
I used to be this guy, i would pirate software, music, tv shows, films, games etc. I did it mainly because it was easy. Innovation has changed my ways, not completely, but mostly.

I no longer pirate music, ive paid for spotify for over 2 years now, i get music wherever i want on any device and its great, i wish they had metallica and acdc but theres youtube for that.

I no longer pirate software, linux got good at "just working" and i've been using ubuntu for years now. I use google docs and other SaaS apps and pay for really good apps like dropbox.

I no longer pirate games, mainly because i'm not much of a gamer, but i have paid for some indie games like SPAZ, Minecraft, QUBE, Darwinia etc because they're indie and the money goes to the developer and the price point is much more reasonable than the big games that come with heavily restrictive DRM.

I still download TV Shows, but not as much as i used to because of BBC iPlayer and similar initiatives, its mainly American TV i download, i've actually no idea if this is illegal or not, considering most of the shows are put on the american networks websites for streaming too.

For films there are LoveFilm, Netflix (now in the UK), iPlayer does some films now as does youtube, but i still think films are the category that is lacking the most, but also a really tough nut to crack, but hell, if it can be done with music, it can be done with films.

So, in my opinion, innovation and me feeling good about giving money to actual people rather than conglomerates is what has stopped me from pirating as much as i used to and thats the key.

This is such bullshit, I really wish I could downvote this sort of post.

If you don't agree with the methods used by companies to sell their products DON'T then take it anyway, you're showing people WANT the product but aren't willing to pay, so what's the best solution? Make it harder to pirate / try to block pirating.

This guy and everyone else who refuses to just not consume media they can't get on terms they and the companies agree with are the reason we have all this SOPA crap.

If the latest Rihanna album is $10 and you're only willing to pay $1 instead of then pirating DON'T get it, just ignore it, if everyone did this we'd have no problems, then media companies would either adjust or accept that they're doing it wrong, they wouldn't then fight the internet.

This guy and everyone else who follows the same point of view is essentially trying to blackmail media companies, how about instead you just move on. You have no right to the media they produce and if you're unhappy with what they want for it MOVE ON. If Sony want to sell the latest album from band x for $1,000 that's their choice, you have no right to that album.
