the point of the proposed legislation was that anything you posted up on [eg youtube or Yahoo video or] any site like that would no longer be under your copyright; the copyright would pass to the holding site and you would need their permission to copy or link to it:crazy:

it would apply to audio and video equally and would pass the copyright to the site owner [ normal copyright or creative commons copyright equally:scared:]

in effect you post up your home video or your tune on any site and thenceforth to use it again you would have to ask their permission despite the fact you created it – it would become their property :pee:[ i am thinking youttube, myspace, yahoo video, etc etc]

and you would possibly have to pay to link to it as well:pee:

the ramifications are hideous

you can be sure the lobby groups in favour include exactly those people you suspect

and if it goes through at any point they will be able to recover those costs and more; altruism in setting up these kinds of networks is non-existent and now the hidden agenda is being revealed:bad_idea:

their hope will be that by the time that the law is enacted people will think these ‘social’ networks are indispensible and be prepared to sell their souls to be able to keep using them
[ a bit like mobile phones which can be used to triangulate your position to within 15m unless you take the battery out of them; how many people are aware of this loss of privacy and would be prepared to keep using the phones regardless of it?]
