I just sent them a nasty email since the comments on the blog post are closed. I did notice though, they added an "opt out" option on their blog. I think the damage is done, though.
I wouldn't be one bit surprized if Big Media have 15-20 of these "laws", "negotiations", "treaties", et al, national and international, sitting in a fat file somewhere, hoping 1 or 2 make it through.
And, no, they are NOT protecting creators. After Ruppert Murdoch made his infamous tweets, someone replied asking if Mr. Murdoch would send artists, directors, and screen writers some of those jobs and money their way.
I'm seeing more and more creators turn to the internet to make the money Big Media are not paying them. Louis CK is one. James Altucher on Techcrunch just posted how he self-published his second book, selling on Amazon. So, if you think of it that way, I could see how they might be worried.
Except that they are making sooooo much money without these laws, despite people using the internet, that it DOESN'T make sense.
It never ceases to amaze the rest of us how trolls like you can be so willfully ignorant. Property already IS protected and internet property protection is enforced. Nobody condones theft or abuses of others' property. You leave yourself open to ridicule when you make such ignorant statements.
