Not like those nasty people who make their own content, they have the unfair advantage of knowing exactly what goes on their sites. So unfair.
It's easy enough to do. All submissions have to be checked and proven to be legal. Do you think Newspapers, mainstream films, TV, etc take anything and just publish it? Of course not and when something gets past them, they face the consequences. Often very pricey consequence.

Why should online be any different? Because lots of little people earn a few dollars off others hard work work. And we should cry for these parasites.

In case you embed a image or a thumbnail or even a quote wich is copywrited?
Yes. That was a simple one to answer.

What about emails?
Should they be read by email providers before sending them to the destination email?
In case you are sending links to copywrited materials?
Want some more straws to grasp? This one is thin.

Watch the fear tactics.....SOPA = Patriot Act. (Yeah, if you are a pirate.)

The only jobs on the line are theirs. The rest of us will keep on keeping on. Hosts will keep on hosting, artist will keep on creating, performers will keep on performing. We just won't be masssively ripped off by these thieving assholes.

Just my opinion.
Not according to Damian's post. This will cause massive losses of jobs. In Russia maybe.

Damian gives business advice.

Another oxymoron or just a moron?
