    Wow here you can't even update the copyright laws without a massive backlash from politicians. How far along in the process is it?

    We have a thread on this, and no one's posted this video yet.

    That about sums this right up.

    If this bill passes I can see the Corporations that lobby'd for it, Paying off politicians to Shut down Youtube and Facebook and Protect there own websites from the Law. Viacom is one that comes to mind.
