This is a humorous rap song I wrote protesting Internet censorship legislation being considered by the US Congress on behest of the recording and motion picture industries who want government sponsored censorship of the Internet to protect their archaic, failed business models. All American citizens who value their constitutional rights to free speech should contact their members of Congress and tell them to vote NO to censorship of the Internet. More information: http://americancensorship.org/ .
On a related note: Regarding BMI support for Internet Censorship legislation (SOPA and PIPA): I am a BMI-registered songwriter (CAE/IPI # 618653628) who is strongly opposed to SOPA and PIPA. BMI, of course, supports those bills, but BMI should NOT presume that it speaks for all its member songwriters on this legislation. Most indie songwriters I know are opposed to this legislation because we generate far more income for our original compositions and public domain adaptations/derivative works through Internet channels (like YouTube) than through the traditional recording industry gatekeepers.
Lyrics:
Don't break the Internet
Singin' Don't break the Internet
Don't break the Internet
Singin' Don't break the Internet
Freedom of speech, our most precious right
Provides a counterbalance against all might
Our Founding Fathers were wise indeed
To make it a part of our most sacred creed
Fast forward 220 years
We're facing one of our greatest fears
A tired old fool from Texas land
With a wad of Hollywood cash in hand
The Hollywood fat-cats bought him out
To kill off the Internet without a doubt
To keep their profits artificially high
By deciding what we can and cannot buy
Don't break the Internet
Singin' Don't break the Internet
Don't break the Internet
Singin' Don't break the Internet
Members of Congress are bought and sold
By companies with a business model very old
The whole process is very strange indeed
It makes you think they're sitting around smoking weed
Don't let the Hollywood fat-cats win
Let your voice be heard above the din
Call your Congressman and let him know
To keep the Internet free, ya, hear me, yo!
Don't break the Internet
Singin' Don't break the Internet
Don't break the Internet
Singin' Don't break the Internet
Don't break the Internet
Singin' Don't break the Internet
Don't break the Internet
Singin' Don't break the Internet
