It was also the EU who had reams of paper covering catering and where it would prob cost $180 ish to prepare a sandwich. There's no end to imbeciles when they are let loose on the public.

Ministers fear that the directive would hit not only successful sites such as YouTube but also amateur ?video bloggers? who post material on their own sites. Personal websites would have to be licensed as a ?television-like service?.

Absurd

British criminal law already covers material that might incite hate or cause harm to children, Mr Woodward added. The Government?s definition of online broadcasting covers feature films, sports events, situation comedy, documentary, children?s programmes and original drama. It excludes personal websites and sites where people upload and exchange video images.
?The real risk is we drive out the next MySpace because of the cost of complying with unnecessary regulations,? Mr Woodward said. ?These businesses can easily operate outside the EU.?

Smells like someone wants to control "broadcasting" - in all it's forms. But least they get the point that nobody cares what their laws are if they don't operate under them - simply locate to a more favorable country.
Doubt this bullshit will get far.
