Let me see if I understand this: If, under the proposed laws, I post a copyrighted picture or a copy of somebody's writings, then this web site is both liable and responsible for an intellectual property infringement known as piracy?
That's the way it reads in the newspapers I read yesterday, and it seems totally unrealistic.
It was explained that, for example, somebody selling bootlegged goods on eBay would make eBay responsible. Pirated movies on youtube would make youtube liable. Web sites could not exist if they had to police everything uploaded to them. I remember reading that youtube gets about 100 years of video either per day or per week or per month. Either way, that's a heck of a lot of video.
