Supporters of this bill claim that all it's really doing is harmonizing US copyright law's civil and criminal sections. After all, the rights afforded under copyright law in civil cases cover a list of rights: reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works or perform the work. The rules for criminal infringement only cover reproducing and distributing -- but not performing. So, supporters claim, all this does is "harmonize" copyright law and bring the criminal side into line with the civil side by adding "performance rights" to the list of things.

So basically it states that if you embed a YouTube video that turns out to be infringing, and more than 10 people view it because of your link... you could be facing five years

Well...what should we do about this GLP? Taking suggestions on how to protest this garbage.
