Hello all, Its me again, as if it would be anyone else. Topic of discussion today is SOPA and PIPA, if you tried to access google or firefox you may have noticed a black box over their logo. Why you may ask, well this is to protest against the Stop Online Piracy Act or SOPA and the Protect IP Act or  PIPA.  The suggested purpose of these bills is to make it harder for sites to sell and or distribute copyrighted material. Now as a film maker who is currently working on his first major motion picture, I  should be excited about this. Unfortunately thats not the case, these bills will not only keep sites from basically bootlegging my movies, but it also gives the government the power to do a whole lot more. Let me explain, once they have the power to basically shut down these "bad sites" they also have the power to censor the sites that are doing the right thing. Google for example, would have to delete any links to these sites, as you know, that is what google basically does.

I know that death of bootleggers would be a great thing, I would be the first to sign a petition for that. I totally support keeping money in the pockets of the artists like myself, who work hard to make great pieces of entertainment. What I don't believe in is censorship. I use google for everything, I learn something new everyday because I can google it. Now if google has to worry about what it can and can not post links to due to this law, it becomes a form of censorship of information. When the government has that kind of power, you and I know all to well that without certain amendments, they can and will abuse that power. So until the SOPA bill can be something that can protect artists without enforcing censorship of information, I will continue to stand against SOPA, even if it means I will only be a millionaire and not a billionaire. 

Please feel free to leave a comment, or an leave an angry rant about how crazy i am for not wanting to be a billionaire! lol

you can also check out this link to an article written by a much smarter person than me! He says basically the same thing, so haha!

A Dream

Today as we celebrate the legacy of the great MLK I feel inspired and extremely motivated. I hope all of you feel the same way. Just like MLK we all have a dream, we all have something we want to see happen more than anything. I hope you all have the strength to chase that dream. Make that dream a part of your being, put your blood sweat and tears in to make that dream come true. If you want it, if you desire it, you can not be afraid of what people think, or will say. It doesn't matter who doesn't believe in your dream, as long as you do! You can not allow anyone or thing to stop you. At the end of the day, if you have given it your best, and have done all that you can, than you have already accomplished more than most. That in its self is a great accomplishment. I truly believe that one should never measure their success by the accomplishments of others. But by the joy and satisfaction your results bring to you and the ones who truly care for you. So keep dreaming, keep fighting and most of all keep smiling, the greatest reward is always happiness. Thank you Dr King, thank you for all of your sacrifices and determination to see the world we live in become a better place. It is because of you that people like me can chase our dreams! Happy birthday Dr Martin Luther King!
