Sharing a Song / Vid on YouTube Could Soon Become a Felony. Thanks Obama....
"Sharing a song on YouTube could soon become a felony: the United State Department of Commerce is asking Congress to increase the penalties for streaming copyrighted work, reviving a provision from the failed Stop Online Piracy Act.

Opposition from the likes of Google, Wikipedia and the American Civil Liberties Union helped stop SOPA from passing in early 2012, but part of that bill could soon be back from the dead. According to a recent Commerce Department report, the office’s Internet Policy Task Force is asking Congress to reconsider a section of SOPA that could heavily penalize people for uploading select content to streaming services."

Secondly.. you do realize you can set and control fonts when you build web sites, right?
Changing Font Attributes
CSS is the most effective way to adjust the fonts on your web page. You can control the font family, size, color, weight, and many other aspects of the typography.

Font properties in CSS are one of the most common ways to make your page more distinctive and unique. It is easy to change the color, size, and even face (the font itself) of your text with CSS font properties.

I think the best part of all this is that with very little effort, you could sit back and do nothing (as expected).. allowing them to start kicking in Church doors and forcing them to pay royalties for the hymns they've been singing every Sunday..

Then you'd be expected to (moan a little) while they launch battalions of DHS troops armed with tasers & point of sale debit machines to hunt down dissident Christmas carolers.

If they started raising this kind'a money at street level you could double the Obama phone program & almost triple the amount placed on EBT accounts every month.. & you'd never have get off your couch.

If he passed one more executive order just before 2016 allowing liquor & weed to be purchased with food-stamps, you'd never have to go through the inconvenience of using tens of millions of dollars creating the illusion of an election.. ever again.

Think of all the 'Skittles' those campaign dollars would buy.. (insert incoherence patriotic chant here)blobr

You're almost there.. keep up the good work.!!
