Guess what, if a certain US bill goes through, which it looks like it almost certainly will, the internet will be owned by the entertainment industry. No really. User generated content that contains ANY copyrighted material (in the most broadly interpreted use of that term to date) can have your whole site shitcanned without notice, and you can end up facing jail time, probably no matter where you are.
'What's copyrighted material Old Angry Guy?' I hear you ask. Well it includes posting a video with a copyrighted song or television content playing in the background for example. So bang goes every music and film review site in existence I imagine. It's probably the only thing I've respected Justin frigging Bieber for. He opposes it because he got his career started by uploading Youtube videos of himself singing along to pop songs. BIEBER IN THE BIG HOUSE! Fucking Bieber of all people would go to frigging jail because of this.
