[LAU] This could affect all of us.

This popped up on fb yesterday via boingboing. The article was talking about classical music and how people are getting dcma’d on youtube for basically playing a 200 year old piano piece live and recording a video of themselves etc, Sony being the alleged victim...

YouTube has thousands of music uploads, bbc radio 1 mixes from days of old and people covering songs on various musical instruments. This hyper dcma copyright gagging rights will kill all of that off, thats a big part of the concern if I understand it correctly?

I think this bill has far deeper objectives, they want boarder patrol like power to try and stop the multi-headed P2P hydra, which is futile - chop off one of the heads and two more grow in its place 😂...
