“Imagine a world where YouTube, Flickr, Facebook or Twitter had never been created due to the cost of regulatory compliance. Imagine an Internet where any website where users can upload text, pictures or video is liable for copyrighted material uploaded to it. Imagine a world where the addresses to those websites could not be found using search engines like Google and Bing, even if you typed them in directly.”

The opening paragraph of this article by Alex Howard should give us all reason to pause and ask the question, “What in the world are these people in Congress thinking?”

This article is lengthy; however, it is worth taking the time to read.  I encourage you to do so, and once you have done so, contact your congressman and let him know where you stand on the issue.
