Justin Bieber: senator who sponsored anti-streaming bill should be "locked up -- put away in cuffs"

Justin Bieber's lawyers might object to the FreeBieber campaign, but Justin himself has called for Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), who sponsored the anti-streaming legislation that would criminalize uploading videos of yourself singing copyrighted songs, to be "locked up -- put away in cuffs."

In the interview, Bieber said that he had no objection to fans uploading videos of themselves singing Justin Bieber songs. "Are you kidding me? I check YouTube all the time and watch people singing my songs. I think it's awesome," he said.

"People need to have the freedoms," he said. "People need to be able to sing songs. I just think that's ridiculous."
