8. The regulation criminalizing the recording of movies at a movie theater on a camera or digital device is hereby eliminated. 17 USC 110 shall be amended accordingly.
I can't imagine the film industry would be happy with this, what is the justification for repealing this?

Quote
9. The regulation criminalizing the calling of certain phone numbers to solicit or advertise is hereby eliminated. 15 USC 6151 - 6155 is hereby repealed.
Can't see The People getting on board with this, so now it is open season for telemarketers and robocalls?

Quote
22. The regulation prohibiting federal student aid to persons convicted of a drug-related offense is hereby eliminated. 28 USC 1091(r) shall be amended accordingly.
Neutral on this, but this is a pretty significant change so wanted to make sure it is highlighted.



Like the other bill, I'll say that I'm supportive of the rest of this, but reminding Senators to read through each clause carefully before voting.

My goal is to do a breakdown of each reg when I have the time. Until then though:

#8. So this was made a federal crime during the Dubya-DeLay period, so its not exactly the oldest federal crime. I frown upon attempts by the federal government to shoehorn its criminal enforcement power into local matters. Im not saying Copyright issues are just a local matter ... but the idea that the FBI can prosecute someone for going into a movie theater and passively filming something on the screen seems like federal overreach. I don't think federal movie theater police are needed. As written the reg does NOT affect the ability of the FBI to prosecute persons for actually SELLING illegally reproduced copies or mass distributing illegally reproduced copies on the internet (subject to the protections of the Decriminalization of Online Content Act).

TL;DR: The FBI should not police persons using cellphone inside a movie theaters.

#9. I know this one may be unpopular but sometimes I wonder (along with many prominent legal scholars) whether or not this law is actually unconstitutional on free speech grounds. This is a bit of a dense read from my alma mater but is on point: https://jolt.richmond.edu/jolt-archive/v10i4/article27.pdf
I am a bill of rights maximalist so I usually prefer to opt for precaution when a law could potentially violate the bill of rights.

#22. By Atlasian standards I dont think this is a big change. What I will voluntarily draw attention to now before I do the whole markup, is point our left-leaning comrades to #30 which would be a much bigger change, and is probably something yall would be willing to kill this entire bill over and might need to be discussed and maybe amended to keep this bill alive. As the bulk of the regulatory language in the parts of the Clean Air Act Obama started regulating CO2 under were not written with CO2 in mind and dont make a whole lot of sense. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_Air_Regulatory_Group_v._Environmental_Protection_Agency

But yeah, something tells me that's probably the big thing Atlasians will care about on this list.


Would you consider 21 to be likewise a matter of free speech, or is there another element I am missing here?

Speech. Museum display. Private collection. If a vet chooses to sell their medals i don't have a problem. John kerry threw his on the ground and he had that choice.

I was concerned about how it would impact the issue of stolen valor as it is has been termed.

I was concerned about how it would impact the issue of stolen valor as it is has been termed.

So the original stolen valor act was struck down by the courts. The new stolen valor act requires not just a lie about having won a medal but also that the lie be for the purpose of making money. The supreme court said a better way to screen out stolen valor cases is an online database of medal winners.

Such a database could be dangerous though.

With no objections having been registered, the amendment is adopted.


Now this is a smooth coverage.  Ontario started a motion and I concluded it. The same in reverse would be smooth as well.

You should indicated as amended over the House vote, because from the text itself it would be difficult to discern whether or not changes were made.

Plus Im pretty sure the no call list stuff was struck at the request of TMTH so it doesnt even appear like the Senators are voting on the right bill.

Edit: yeah the above is definitely not the right version of the bill. # 10 was struck the first time this was in the Senate. Guess its not really surprising given the rush by the mimes to shoot the rest of the hostages.

I think part of the problem is that forgot to update the text, so technically the house debated the wrong text as well.

Edit: I modified the text above since the final vote was held on the text as we had amended, not what I mistakenly portrayed it as afterwards. Since doesn't correct for down stream problems in the house.

What happened here, reviewing through it, is that Lumine sent the House the unedited text. The House then moved to amend that unedited text, and when Jimmy opened the final vote, he clearly indicated that the final vote was being opened on the version of the bill that had no Senate edits. This means that the text above - the text the Senate is voting on now - is, in fact, exactly the version of the bill passed by the House (and thus the version the Senate should be voting on), with the Senate's edits (other than the ones redone in the House amendment) removed.

Lumine introduced the text I sent him, which is the text I compiled above. The same text was sent to Jimmy Razze and Ontario, since I included them on all such PMs.

The text Lumine introduced to the House is clearly different from the one you signed off on in replies. That one has 48 reg repeals, the one Lumine put in front of the House has 50.

It has 48 repeals because I just fixed it. Tongue
