A few highlights:

"In her Columbia speech, Pallante said the time is right for "Congress to once again think big," and create "the next great copyright act." As she outlined the areas of the law she believes need to be fixed, she focused on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The DMCA, created to deal with copyright issues on the internet, is much maligned in both Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Many in tech and in entertainment believe the law should favor them more and the other less. Before wading in, Pallante paused and took a swig from a water bottle. Anyone about to tackle the DMCA, Pallante told the audience, should have a drink.

Considering the task ahead of her, she might want to try bourbon."

"At the center of the discord is the DMCA. Passed in 1998, the DMCA was intended to protect copyrighted materials on the internet without stifling technological innovation. The controversial Section 1201 outlawed the circumvention of copy-protection schemes and increased the penalties for infringement. At the same time, Congress also sought to shield internet service providers from violations committed by customers (Section 512). But critics say the DMCA has raised as many legal questions as it answered, especially since lawmakers in 1998 couldn't foresee now-ubiquitous technologies like smartphones, user-generated video, and peer-to-peer networks. Like any law that purports to regulate technology, the DMCA was doomed to be nearly obsolete from the start. "The DMCA was a pretty good idea," said the artist's manager. "But it has become the mother lode of unintended consequences."

"Certainly, there's no shortage of people who would like to set fire to the DMCA, especially after Pallante's office sent unlocking a cell phone back into legal limbo. More than 100,000 names were on a petition against the new unlocking rule posted to the White House website last month."

In short, the DMCA simply does not work!

Yawn.

Why is it that a failed scammer and spammer like you pretends to know stuff about that which you clearly don't ?

Some ideas.

1. Require every person who receives a successful uncontested DMCA takedown to supply in a signed affidavit a) The IP address of the offender and b) The exact time and date in UTC time for which the content was posted. Failure to supply this information will be a automatic $100 fine per occurrence payable to the content owner. [The intent is to make it easier for the content owner to sue the uploader and to stop people from keeping no logs]

2. Require a $0.50 per valid DMCA takedown fee from the site owner payable to the content owner if the content is taken down within seven days. For every 24 hour period thereafter the 7th day the amount due doubles.

3. Setup a nationwide blacklist for the purposes of enforcing DMCA law. If a site fails to fulfill the obligations of the DMCA or to pay any fines and is past due more than 90 days the site shall be added to the mandatory blackllist. U.S. ISPs shall be required to enforce the blacklist with null routing and nulled DNS entries.

4. Make all foreign sites also accountable under DMCA law. If they fail to meet the obligtions then add them to the blacklist described in #3. As such they will be unreachable to normal U.S. customers.

It would be the end of piracy as we know it. Overnight the scumbags in our industry would head for the hills.

That is too easy. Make it $500 for every uncontested DMCA where they have to remove the content, or they lost their hosting account and internet service. Would put an end to all of this within 24 hours.

I really don't care if Youtube, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter or any other social site closes because of it. Life was grand without them, life will be grand without them again. It would probably do all you fat asses good to step away from the computer from time to time and actually do something for a change that doesn't involve updating a status.
