Justin Bieber: Senator Amy Klobuchar should be “locked up”
Justin Bieber said that he thought Senator Klobuchar should be “locked up” for a bill she’s proposed that would make it a felony to sing popular song and profit from streaming unlicensed online content, reported StarTribune.com
Justin was asked by a Washington-area radio host about the bill, which opponents argue could send people like Justin Bieber to jail for uploading videos to YouTube.
Justin didn’t appear to know much on the issue — he first thought Klobuchar was a “guy” — but when the radio host said the Minnesota Democrat was trying to make “unauthorized web streaming of copyrighted material a felony,” it clearly hit a nerve.
“Whoever she is, she needs to know that I’m saying she needs to be locked up, put away in cuffs,” said Bieber.
A group opposing Klobuchar’s bill has used Bieber as its poster child, creating a website called freebieber.org that claims the bill would send him to prison for five years.
But Klobuchar spokeswoman Brigit Helgen said Justin would have nothing to fear under Klobuchar’s bill, which only targets people seeking to make a profit through web streaming, not users uploading videos to YouTube.
