Justin Bieber called for a senator to be arrested on live radio yesterday:
On a radio show, the tween pop sensation called out Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), whoâs sponsoring legislation to make it a felony to profit from streaming unlicensed content online, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
âThat guy needs to be locked up,â Bieber said after hearing about the bill, apparently not immediately remembering Amy is generally a womanâs name. âWhoever she is, she needs to know that Iâm saying she needs to be locked up, put away in cuffs.â
I never thought I'd write this, but: I agree with Bieber. Not that Senator Klobuchar needs to be arrested, but the Stop Online Piracy Actâwhich can make streaming of unauthorized copyrighted content punishable with up to five years in prisonâis total bullshit. This Free Bieber site is taking advantage of the glow of celebrity attention. If you want to know more about why you should care about stopping the Stop Online Piracy Act, you should read this post. This is important.
