Attention Musicians and Labels

A bipartisan group of Senators has introduced legislation that would give the Justice Department an expedited process for cracking down on rogue websites that are dedicated to making unauthorized copies of music available to internet users around the world. The Justice Department would target the most egregious pirate websites, go to a federal court with the evidence, and then seize the domain name.

Once a site has been seized, the Court would issue an order to intermediaries --… Continue

Support

Back again. Thanks for all you support. We have made great in roads on both the medical and musical as we.

Outgrow

More talented lover

That which you won't challenge

Can't ever make you wise

But that which you surpass

In freedom makes you rise

That which you merely… Continue
