Who's mad at @NFL ?

So here's the problem Mr. NFL.  You don't like your programming pirated, but how do I get to it if I don't have cable? 

-----ALLOW US TO WATCH EACH GAME A LA CARTE----

I love Da Bears, and it's the only team I'm interested in watching.  I don't want to have to buy cable just to watch one game a week. 

-----I'D BE WILLING TO PAY $2-3 A GAME OR $40 A SEASON TO WATCH-----

Give us the ability to see your games, and we will give you our gratitude by paying, just ask Hulu/Netflix/Spotify

LETTER TO EFF

 sent to EFF on 23 Dec 2011 9:39 EST

Hello Fellow Techies,

My name is Benjamin Blouin.  I've been following on Twitter the iterations of SOPA/PIPA (and the hilarious GoDaddy fiasco).  I'm going to give a point based idea submission starting… now:

1.  SOPA/PIPA are bad answers to the problem of piracy/copyright infringement

       - SO LETS GIVE THEM A GOOD ANSWER!!!
2. Let's be part of a Bill Righting idea-group and give them something that makes MPAA/RIAA + Gov't + People                            !!!HAPPY!!!

My idea:::FOR INSTANCE:::

When on Youtube searching for an American Idol segment I came across an "Official" badge underneath an Ellen video.  This badge signifies Copyright holding of Ellen of the Video, no?  It allows signifies that Youtube has the rights to Reproduce it, no?

                                       MAKE THE IDENTIFICATION OF COPYRIGHT EASIER TO SEE

Youtube must have a way to determine copyright holding, therefore make it easier for the common person to Identify.  Make it bigger, make it a different color with Christmas lights around it.  I don't really care, but make it easier to identify.

                               BAM! GIVE PEOPLE INFORMATION AND THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING!

We can do this, help me help everyone.

Thanks for your time,
Benjamin A. Blouin
