I agree with this! Fighting piracy and counterfit goods is all fine with me.
I agree with this, too. These actions seem to be done by foreigners, and it cost the US many $$$.
Making websites with user generated content the policeman for the fight is not practical or possible.
How could a webmaster, such as yourself, possibly check every post for violations? They could NOT.
As written, this thing would make it my responsibility to review every post, and link, and photograph posted on here to be sure it wasn't copyrighted material, or a link to someone selling phony ipads.
I very often see copyrighted material where it states that the info/pic/link is NOT to be copied and pasted elsewhere. It's not your responsibility. It appears it is the individual's duty to check for possible infringement, imo.
I say its Impossible.
And I agree you are correct.
I went to a few news sites today and "commented" on their SOPA articles, pointing out that I could easily be posting a link to a music download site, or the text of a copyrighted article; right there in their comment section. Making them liable for it!
Whoa - you dirty dawg! Betcha scared 'em, huh? Yet, what you say is true.
Every webmaster on the planet would be chasing his tail!
We all await, breathlessly, for YOU to post a pic of yourself chasing your own tail.
I didn't know you had a tail, lol.
G/L, BOB - THIS ISN'T OVER YET. GOOGLE HAS MANY ARTICLES ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH, ETC.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
