I've read somewhere (but as a comment on a blog entry, not an official source) that the accusation wouldn't even be necessary with this one. Just someone spotting it would be enough.

So, for example, say you stole one of my articles and passed it off as your own. At the moment, I'd have to notice and challenge you over the copyright, before anything legal would happen. Under TPP, it could just be a random stranger seeing it, who could get it taken down. I wouldn't even have to know it had happened.

Like I said, that wasn't an official statement, but very little is so far.

One thing that is just so wrong is that all someone has to do is make an accusation for content to be taken offline. It doesn't work that way in any other legal matter, not in America at least, where one technically should be innocent until proven guilty. Why can't this work in the same way? Have proof a website has some kind of copy wright infringement, before they are punished for the act.

Irregardless, I'm against the bill, like I have been all of the rest.

(interestingly enough, I'm pretty sure irregardless isn't, or at least wasn't, an actual word, I think its supposed regardless. Ah, language.)

Did you see my online violin lessons page linked at the bottom - it appears that you can actually get reasonable lessons online! I was cynical before I researched it, now I'm considering signing up :-)

Playmobil is great! My kids love them and there is so much to keep on adding to their collection.

Thanks for reading!

Too true! It is pretty tough sometimes to know the truth and yet not actually live it. Her songs were definitely inspiring but it made no difference to her life, it seemed. I loved her music and it certainly had a great impact on me.

Thanks for your feedback!

@Angel - I KNOW!!! Becoming a SAHM can be a very very interesting change. We do it for the right reasons and then suddenly realize life is sooo tough as we try to make the transition. I am still making adjustments...

It is good that you made the right choice for your family, no point keeping them home if they do not want to be there :-) But I feel your pain, it is tough and not quite the idyllic life we think it might be.

@BrendaReeves - It sometimes seems that just as you think you have your life just the way you want it, a curveball comes your way! Becoming the carer to a parent is always an interesting transition. You kinda expect it with children but never completely ready for a parent!

Working from home is tough because it is difficult to differentiate between free time and work time. You have to set boundaries, lady! I say - the lady still writing at 2am in the morn!

jange52 - That is what upsets me... she seemed to be turning her life around...I say seemed to be...we have yet to hear the cause of death. I really hope it was not because of drugs... though that is my fear. Either way, she made a huge contribution to music and I remember her for that. Not the bad stuff. Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

I look forward to your articles such as this. I have only been doing this since Oct 2011 and find myself doing exactly what you have described in this article. Maybe I am just not good at KR? Who knows... I seem to do better without it. Glad I am not alone in this.. LOL.. I admire you and your success. Looking forward to your article on efficiency.

Learned something new today! Thanks.

I too am glad you are here so that I can learn from you. I have articles over at hubpages but not many. I just started writing in Oct 2011 and started there. I feel so much more at home here. I have a lot to learn and feel Wizzley is giving me the chance to write and learn as I go without being critical of ignorant things. They are critical of the things that matter. I am so sorry that you are having to deal with S$%^. Is your name that same over there? I would like to follow you and read your articles over there... thanks!

Yes.. I like your qualities much better! I truly believe that looking your best for your man is important as you noted. Men are so visual..IMO.. Great page.

I played in the concert band and marching band in high school - french horn and F horn during marching season. I always wanted to learn how to play violin. Reading this makes me think I need to take lessons! Thanks.

Very good thoughts. I am harder on myself than I should be sometimes but I feel like I need to be so that I will continue to work hard toward my goals. I feel like success is peace of mind and living worry free.
