Like most legislation, their first edition is always waaaaaaay over reaching. It will pass eventually in some form. But I can assure you that search engine, web hosts, and many others will be removed by the time all is said and done.

Serious question.
Why should google be able to copy images from other websites and host them and
do what they do with google images?
Just because it is beneficial does not imply that nobody's rights are infringed.
Illegal tube sites are beneficial to people seeking porn. So......
Why should google have power on the internet that you and I don't have?
Google, yahoo, Bing, etc... are just dot com sites. They are not government entities.
I see all the benefits of search engines so don't get me wrong.
I'm just saying that why should anyone be able to post any content without
consent?
Search engines worked just fine before they started scraping images and video.
Google was trying to get approval to copy every book ever written onto
their web servers. I thought that was insane and a big "fuck you" to book writers and
copyright law.
Where does it end?
They already show my fucking house and car on google maps(along with any sobering up
chicks that left that morning).
Shit!
Do I have any rights after google???????????????????????????????????
WTF!
Disclaimer : It is totally irrelevant that I would complain less about google
maps if I owned a better looking car.
