Action site of person who posted video on Youtube of the same, alleging that copyright protection was about to be shredded for those whose works did not appear in commercial registries. There is some talk about the impact this will have on artists. What I don't see, and would like to, is the text of the bill, itself, and some supporting links. Much of this, we're asked to take on faith, which is a troublesome thing in a setting like the Internet, where we are all forced to deal with strangers. If the author is telling the truth, I hope he'll work on fixing these deficiencies in his site..

Where I first heard about this, and it sounds like something worth worrying about, if this person is telling the truth. It's alleged to be pro-piracy legislation, stripping copyright protection from any work not registered with a commercial registry. The defenses I've heard of this bill can be summed up by the words "yes, but they meant well". Not very reassuring. Let's look into this.
