Time for huge amounts of encryption and routing packets all over the place before routing them to my computer in order to protect my privacy should I get falsely accused under this law (Routing packets everywhere won't work with youtube due to speed issues)
As Grag (Spaz/ LHCGreg/ whatever) said in a private IRC conversation to me the other day...
[13:29:13] <LHCGreg> Well, they do have the right to enforce copyright
[13:29:34] <LHCGreg> But accidentally viewing a copyrighted video (or not knowing it's copyrighted and not used with permission)...
[13:29:45] <LHCGreg> That shouldn't be punishable
[13:30:10] <LHCGreg> And it's very easy for, as an example, someone to post a youtube link on a forum or IRC channel, and someone else to click it without even knowing what it is
