Justin Bieber apparently thinks Sen. Amy Klobuchar should be "locked up."
The teen pop singing sensation said the Minnesota Democrat should be jailed for her bill that would make it a felony to illegally stream copyrighted content.
Bieber became well known after videos of him singing covers of R&B songs went viral. He made several remarks about the sponsor of S.978 during an interview this morning with a Washington radio station, according to this story in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
"Whoever she is, she needs to know that I'm saying she needs to be locked up -- put away in cuffs," Bieber is quoted as saying.
Fight for the Future, a group opposing the bill, has launched FreeBieber.org, a website featuring a photo of the Biebs behind bars that claims "Justin faces 5 brutal years in prison."
Klobuchar's spokesperson, Brigit Helgen, says Bieber fans can rest easy. He's not going to jail. She sent us this statement:

Justin Bieber must have been misled about the content of this bill. It's not about people posting their personal work on the Web. This is common sense legislation that passed through the Judiciary Committee with no objection from either party. The bill only covers the intentional commercial theft of things like books, commercial music, and movies, including foreign piracy.
