Even large corporations couldn't be happy with this, download a
copyrighted work with full information imbedded, upload to face book,
download it again and it's laundered. The only protected works are

be paid for their photographs but nonetheless distribute their work via social media). The more
pertinent question might be who gains? It seems that Murdoch and his ilk must be be overjoyed that
they will receive an open invitation to piracy. Instead of blathering about "The

he should be thinking about the legislators and their corporate partners.
