But who cares, the law is already obsolete And will be removed as soon as the current (USA/Hollywood asskissing) government is out.
It has to go through a court. And I don't think copyright violation is a thing the police need to get involved with. The file shares must hate this law though. Should a few thousand file sharers be allowed to bring down the profitability of industries and clog up the Internet with their free loading is the question.

Obsolete is something you might hope for. Watch your post box.
