Remember the SESTA/FOSTA protests? Remember the Internet Blackout event? This is like that.

People violating DMCA by the standards of overprotective megacorp copyright holders could serve hard time in prison if that goes through. I dunno, can you think of anyone we all know and care about who has gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to erratic online enforcement of copyright law?

Maybe call and/or write your senators about this.

Dear gods this sucks. >_<
