They delayed further discussion until "after the break" - meaning nothing is changing until 2012.
If you use FIrefox you might be interested in the DeSopa add on that was just released.
In related news:
SOPA supporters are cashing the media's checks from CNN says that those congressmen who are supporting this bill are getting twice as much campaign cash from studios than from tech types, who are against the bill.
US NEws is focusing mostly on the censorship slant.
UK rapper Dan Bull has joined the discussion with a new anti-SOPA song. He brings up an awesome point in how this would relate to musicians (And film makers): "creativity is all about interpreting and re-imagining what you see and hear around you. The idea that creativity exists in some kind of vacuum, and that you're not a real artist unless you can make something "completely original" is not only stupid, it contradicts the most fundamental axioms of how the universe works." And how did he create this video? Via his Facebook wall when asked on Monday for fans to help out.
And if you are a fan of MythBusters and Popular Mechanics you may find Adam Savage's column of interest: SOPA Could Destroy the Internet as We Know It
* EDIT: I notice that Sony's automated censorship software is blocking out the word s.t.u.p.i.d in the quote above. Now *that* is s.t.u.p.i.d

Here's a link you can add, this was my attempt to get rights to a song. I got sync rights from the publishers (for free) but never could get the record label to respond for Master Use.
Long Old Post
Not giving permission is not the same as saying yes. So potentially, what could happen is you ask permission - they ignore you - it goes viral (not likely for most of us but it did in these cases) - then they sue you.

Great old post! Thanks for that. (F.Y.I - I make mention of your experience in this 2004 post )
I went way back just for giggles and found a question from 2001 - What do I need to know about using copyrighted material?. It starts off "I'm in the business of doing wedding videos...." You would expect a huge discussion on the subject - but back in the early days that was not so. Only a few posts and the first reply informs the poster that copyright laws are "simple" yet a "big subject". How times have changed over the last decade.

Here's another article on the Louis CK experiment: DIY Video Pays Off Huge For Louis CK: Are You Listening Google, Amazon?
I'm downloading my $5 video as I post this - just as a form of protest. And it might just be a fun thing for the family to watch over the holidays.

Regarding SOPA and the Senate version called PIPA.
There has been virtually no reporting on the primetime TV corporate press programs on these controversial bills despite the fury online.
If you take a look at the House Judiciary Committee website you will see that ABC, CBS, Time Warner (which owns CNN), Disney Publishing Worldwide (which is a subsidiary of Disney which owns ABC), Viacom (which owns CBS), Comcast/NBCUniversal (which owns MSNBC and NBC News), News Corporation (Fox News), ESPN and Hyperion publishing (both owned by Disney are all listed as supporters of the SOPA bill.
As I have stated many times before, it is the media in the US that inexplicably gets away with the myth that they are somehow "liberal" organizations rather than large corporate tools that work directly against the public interest via misinformation and selective reporting.
Here is a letter sent to Washington by people like the co-founders of Yahoo, Google, Netscape, Wikipedia, etc opposing SOPA and PIPA. The letter was also ignored by the cable and network TV news programs.
Is it their duty to report that which profoundly affects the public interest or is it their duty to protect their parent corporation's self interest and the interest of oher large and wealthy corporations at the public expense?

Here are a few more interesting sites I've come across dealing with this matter.

Finally here's one that got a big chuckle from me.

Some may have noticed that Google's banner today is a black bar over the Google logo. Some of you may have noticed that any Wikipedia page redirects to a page explaining that for the next 24 hours Wikipedia has gone dark. Mozilla was supposed to go dark at 8 AM, which is in about 4 minutes from now.

Isn't this what the Harry Fox Agency is for? (Including a song on a DVD, not the YouTube issue.) http://www.HarryFox.com

Best explanation I have seen to date in detail of exactly what is wrong with the SOPA bill:

It's about time.
Maybe we can get rid of some of the amateur hour hacks stealing music.
