The bill in it current form is heavily weighted to wants of entertainment industry executives (Not even the needs of the artists!). It throws away fair use principals that have worked well and still work for non digital media. Please do not assume that these principals do not apply because there is a different type of media!
If you want an election issue that can sink the party that supports it, this bill in it\'s current form is it!
