This is an honestly scary article. I can't even think of anything else to say about it.

It's the fucking conservatives. I fucking hate them, all they've done is fuck things up, and copy the US's batshit stupid ideas. And in this case, make them even more fucking retarded. If this bill goes through, I'm going to fucking flood (read I may write an automated email sender, and seriously FLOOD their servers) them with angry letters about how fucking batshit stupid this is. I've sent an email off to my local MP. I hate wriing letters, but I'll definitely look for email addresses for more people.

and even the suggestion that posting a copyright-protected work to YouTube could result in the larger $20,000 per infringement damage award.

What the fuck?

Yeah. That was my response to this bill period. It hasn't passed into being a law yet, but they are trying to fasttrack it, and forego much of the public opinion stuff.
