pipa

• Question:-What is the closest instrument to the pipa?
  The pipa is a chinese instrument heard in the openin of Incubus's "Aqueos Transmission." it's a real neat tune and I don't know what would soUnd like it. Any help?
  
  Answer:-Koto is a similar-sounding instrument, but you can also just play the riff on guitar. (There are effects out there that'll make the guitar sound kind of like a sitar - that works well.)
• Question:-What is the difference between SOPA and PIPA?
  What are the differences between the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) that are currently being debated?
  Is it only that SOPA is in the House and PIPA is in the Senate or are there other differences?
  
  Please and thank you :)
  
  Answer:-There are a few differences, but both will kill the internet if they pass.

• Question:-How are the Sopa and Pipa bills good?
  I already know plenty of reasons why it is bad but i want to understand why any one would want such a bill to pass. I will not counter you or anything i'm going to remain open minded. Can some one direct me to some Pro Sopa/Pipa sites?

• Question:-What are the pros and cons of SOPA and PIPA?
  I hear that record labels, movie studios, etc are in favor of SOPA and PIPA but websites like Wikipedia are against it.

  Answer:-
• Question:-Will SOPA and PIPA ensure the government will have total control of all mass media?
  The government needs to prevent us from seeing what they are doing and total media control is to the benefit of a tyrannical government, because they need to control what is news that's 'fit to print'.
  
  Since the government controls all of mainstream-media in the United States and the internet is the last place we can go to find what isn't reported, will SOPA and PIPA ensure that the government has total control of what we are allowed to read and think?
  
  Answer:-That's what they are trying to do. Read about Cass Sunstein (sp?) obamas information czar. He wants to stop the people from questioning anything.
• Question:-When will we see some action taken on SOPA and PIPA by the government?
  Like when will congress discuss SOPA and PIPA to get it to either pass or fail? I think I recall someone saying January 17, but I'm not sure. I would like to know when the fate of the internet will be decided.
  
  Answer:-The house has just dropped the hearing on SOPA that was scheduled for 1/18/12. They have postponed plans to consider the bill. The Senate will be voting on PIPA on 1/24/12. Please lobby your senator to oppose that bill.

• Question:-How likely is it that the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PIPA will be passed?
  Have just read briefly about a possible bill that may be passed that will have massive effects on the internet, online privacy and so forth.
  
  How likely is it that any bill seriously impacting online privacy / freedom of speech will be passed in the U.S.? If so, do you think such a bill will seriously change the online world as we know it?

• Question:-does anyone play the erhu or the pipa?
  i want to explore some non-traditional musical instruments, what types do you recommend for soothing sounds...where can i find them?
  
  Answer:-traditional chinese music instruments:
  erhu
  pipa
  yang qin
  gu zhen
  gaohu
  banhu
  and many others
  
  I -myself- learn erhu, coz I luv its mellow tunes..
  but in the place I learn music, most students play gu zhen coz it's easier.
  String instruments like erhu, just like violin, will give u bad sound when u first play it. But, with time goes by, the sound improves. (Youtube has many video music for erhu and guzhen)
  But with instrument like pipa or gu zhen u will get go0d sound even if u play it for 1st time
  
  Erhu knowns in many movie (chinese movie or martial art movie).
  Check out 12 girls band for ur sound reference. Or try to open this link http://eason.com.sg/products/products_new.jsp just for u to see the pictures of those instruments or to hear example of the sound instruments
• Question:-Do PIPA and SOPA affect countries other than America?
  I live in Spain I don't want this internet censorship to happen as much as the next person but I can't do anything about it as I am not a citizen of the US. Will this censorship affect me or is it only US citizens. It's completely unfair if it affects me and I can't even voice my say.
