Besides that, what I want to share to you is that people are stupid sometimes. I thought Youtube would be like Myspace or Facebook, where you post non-copyrighted material made by either you, your friends, or your family members.
But NO, they decide to stream copyrighted material. As companies reacted, they dialed up the politicians, and SOPA was reborn. It's like a thorn on our side that can cause a grave injury to our freedom.
It was originally targeted as an Anti-Piracy device, but now since a new form of control has taken shape (Metal Gear Solid 2) I'm pretty sure anything that isnt owned via a license (even if distribution of a form of media for educational or other purposes is legal) is considered material that has been violated of its rights.
This will gravely affect the entire totem pole of the internet.
