The large corporations already pay their lawyers by the year. Won't cost
'em a penny extra to use the DMCA to screw you over.
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
those so well known that their provenance is indisputable.

Interesting. The breathless hysteria of the blog was a bit off-putting,
but he did seem to make a few good points. He focused on who loses under
the legislation discussed (i.e., those who expect to 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 Government" and "The Act" as though these
abstractions were living breathing people, he should be thinking about the
legislators and their corporate partners.
