Setting aside the morality of this proposed law, my question is: will this law be available to everyone?
I've made one video in my life. Sometime later it was snatched from my website without my permission and posted to a video sharing site. Somehow I doubt with this new law that I will be able to call up the Office of Copyright Enforcement (or whatever they end up calling it) and have the servers of the major video sharing site seized.
I am so sick off all this "what a bunch of fuck-ups Government is"! It's not like civilian business has been this great savior of humanity either. Deregulation, privatization. Yeah businessmen are saints and will make sure to look out for their fellow man. Child labor, sweatshops, poison toys, banking scams, toxic spills. That's right, nothing ever gets fucked up when it's in private hands.
If you want to visualize what the world would be like deregulated and privatized like these knee jerk, naive neo-cons advocate, imagine a cross between Iraq on a really bad day and your email inbox with all filtering turned off.
It's not Government that screws things up. It's bureaucracies. And Government has no monopoly on those (or haven't you ever tried to call your cell phone company)!
You shall submit willingly to anything your corporate wranglers require of you! You are after all company livestock and exist solely to produce product for which you are fed and reasonably protected from the wolves. It's this farm or the next one. Any memory of the free range are best forgotten. It is all fenced in now. This way to your cubicle pen...
