This is a video talking about certain pieces of legislation going through congress at the moment, and how they may affect the internet as we know it today.
Really interesting, take a look.

The guy who speaks in the video however, is English! Cheesy

Incorrect dave.

Most sites effected by this bill are hosted in the states. Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, photobucket etc could all be taken down just cos someone posted a link to copyrighted material. Hell the complainant doesn't even need to prove they own the copyright! And don't think it will never happen here it will if it passes in the states. Lobbyist will lobby the hell out of our government to do the same!

This is an annual cycle, they try to do this every year, corporate always get what they want in the end, the days in which you could use  a computer to do something creative with a computer are long since past anyway.
