White House Proposes Sweeping New Copyright Measures

reading comments there seems most people don't understand this initiative at all or maybe they worry that if this passes they'll get less "free" shit available to them

anything those clowns try to do that is "sweeping" is just that... it gets SWEPT under the rug because nobody likes extreme change. Politicians always on their soapboxes to please their base, and they propose stupid extreme things that will never pass... or get blocked, or go to court...

Reading some of those comments was funny. Obviously written by a bunch of kids who're terrified they might have to pay to listen to music.

The ones about fixing the economy made me chuckle. They obviously don't think getting it for free and not paying taxes on it is "fixing the economy"

If enacted, could it affect tubes that come under U.S. "reach"?

"wiretap suspected infringers."

I'll wait for the water down version, and see if that has any teeth.
