Very true, weegillis. I saw a paper a few weeks ago, regarding an ongoing effort to put more teeth in the copyright laws, and remove the protections for people like those that embed YouTube vids in their blogs and forums...basically pushing the responsibility down to the end-user, to determine what is fair use or copyrighted.

With things like this being so difficult to adequately police, I'm afraid it just gives more ammunition to those that are against net neutrality.
