Definitely, the differences between an album and an article are many, but as far as these laws are concerned, the restrictions around their distribution are the same.
I know that, that's why I said I was against the SOPA Bill. But I also said I would be in favor of them drafting/changing the laws to separate the two.
If I cross the street in the middle of the road it can be called jay walking and I can get a ticket, however if I cross at a crosswalk I'm ok. Both instances I am crossing the street one of them is done legally. Our laws can be written to make distinctions and until they do so I will be against any piracy laws. It's too much of a slippery slope.

I understand that they can make a distinction between the piracy of different media, but I fail to see your logic as to why one is better/worse than the other. The only way for the Plain Dealer to make money on the Internet from their articles is if people go to their website. So why is it worse if people share music in the same way?

With how much copywritten material as appears on this site, this site would be DNS blocked so damn fast. ESPN, Fox Sports, NBC, CBS, ABC, and the NFL would all have sites like this on their hitlist because we allow the passing of news and knowledge that directly pertains to their business (by way of NFL related news), the NFL especially could easily claim that this site infringes on it's product and move to have it shut down and it would be without hesitation.

And without any court order or anything else. They could do the same, just on their say so, as well as blocking payment through credit card processing and such.

It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!
