right in a law that not only bypass the court systems

you quoted the passage that eliminates people being able to counter sue you for all the damages done.

Your argument is conjectural since it has not happened. Again, fair use is protected speech.
that the stupidest statement i have ever heard you can't complain about because it has never happened yet

by that definition you should have no right to complain about adding a close that takes away the copyright of any fair use stomping scum bag copyright holder because it hasn't happened yet

so why are you arguing against adding such a clause.

I don't see how preventing piracy of other peoples' property destroys free speech and innovation. The pirate shares, steals or buys a little existing software code, steals all the content and creates nothing. This is not "innovation" or "free speech".
idiot again
prevent piracy doesn't destroy free speech

abusing the laws to take down fair use by pretending it piracy hurts free speech

the penalty i am talking about clearly separates the two

those that abuse lose
those who do not can prevent piracy to their hearts content

again why are you trying to defend the right to abuse the law


Quote:
The content producers are the creators and innovators. If the content producers and intellectual property owners, i.e. "scum bag copyright holders", want to give away the content they own for free, so be it. The IP is theirs to do with as they please.

No free speech issue here that has not already been addressed by the courts and pirates are certainly not innovative.
Again the only people who would ever fear this penalty are the scum bags who would try and use copyright laws to censor free speech

to abuse copyright laws to take out legit competition

say for example tv shows trying to take down porn parodies of their shows
or
celibrity like SJ using copyright law to take down her nude pictures

or competing tube sites making bogus complaints against their competitors to take them down.

or record companies trying to kill independent stars doing fair use covers of "Their" artist songs.

again why are you defending them.
