Im fairly sure that you've been linked to these already in a note, but I feel it prudent to post these:

[link] <--an article with some fantastic links going through the proposed bits and explaining them, and the misconceptions that are flying around regarding this bill. (Which doesnt currently exist, actually)

And [link] <--something of an opinion work on the original author of the article which started all of this and got you so upset. ;.; He says to follow the money, well, somebody does just that with his sources. Biggest and most telling of all of this I think is that the 'note from a recent meeting with someone who works at the coypright office' is taken from an interview with a guy who doesnt even work at the copyright office anymore, hasn't since 2006 (which was the last time this bill attempted to go through and died due to lack of attention because Congress didnt want to touch it with a ten foot pole.)

Im a watcher of this journal, because it is concerning. But it's not -as- big as the original article attempted to make it be. Thankfully there have been a lot of people who are at home with the legaleese coming out of the woodwork to offer intelligent counters to the issue and help keep people fully informed.
