Paul, is that really a good thing though? That youtube could seize operations because of this? Copyright infringement isn't really a problem on youtube, because they have solved the problem with technology. You don't find whole episodes of copyrighted content on youtube. They are able to detect copyrighted content, and nudity automatically with technology, and advanced filters. So why create new laws to solve problems they are already solving with technology?
Their main problem is offshore sites that don't want to follow laws and regulations. But this law isn't only targeting offshore sites. It has serious free speech limitations for everyone.
