Maybe the better alternative is to FIX DMCA first before moving to more draconian measures like SOPA?
Check this article out and read the figures Google supplied regarding DMCA. It's quite sobering. http://gigaom.com/2011/11/27/with-fr...ho-needs-sopa/ |
Reads to me like the author wants to "fix" DMCA by effectively weakening it.
For copyright owners, DMCA, as currently constituted, is already an all but useless tool in today's Wac-a-Mole copyright enforcement environment.
And now this clown wants to make it even more burdensome to file a DMCA.
Not cool.
Why not simply lay draconian penalties on those who knowingly - not carelessly, but knowingly - file DMCA complaints? Doing so would nip the problem in the bud and it would work with SOPA as well.
