A wonderful manuscript that is typed and ready to go!
My name is Daniel Rice. I live in Dudley Massachusetts. I am a first time writer and have two more chapters to go, to complete my story. It’s fiction, a coming of age story that would be most enjoyed by adults. It’s a fascinating read that I had a couple of english teachers read themselves, telling me that they could not put my book down after the first chapter.

“The INDUCE Act is just one part of a legislative full-court press by the major labels. We’ve been very focused on INDUCE, because it’s the biggest threat, the broadest coalition opposes it, and it’s the most realistically beatable.
But we just found out that HR 4077 passed in the House this afternoon. This major label dream-law would send people to jail for sharing 1,000 songs, or just one unreleased album. That’s right, up to 5 years in jail for sharing one album. It passed on a voice vote, so you can’t even go see if your Congressperson supported it– their votes simply aren’t on record. They’ll send hundreds kids to jail as a favor to some corrupt industry but they won’t put their names on it. Cowards.

“The idea that quality is based on thread count is not some old yarn—it’s woven into the fabric of our society,” Morgan said. “But the system for quality control is threadbare. It’s coming apart at the seams. We can’t pull the covers over our heads and ignore it any longer.”
