“The issue is that participants in reader forums often post copyrighted material, such as an image or an article. Under the current law, as part of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, website owners are protected from massive monetary liability based on the actions of their users if they meet the law’s requirements, such as accepting notifications of copyright conflicts and taking part in a notice-and-takedown procedure for complaints. …EFF warned that the little guys will suffer. What’s truly frightening about this rule is who it’s likely to affect the most. YouTube and Facebook will be fine. It’s small companies, small nonprofits, and activist groups that are at risk – the same groups that are most poorly poised to fight copyright infringement suits.” –Source
Without doing a bit more research into this, (as I plan to do) I don’t see how “the little guys will suffer” much unless they’re already breaking copyright law. And those “little guys” I assume are ministries like mine as well as blogs and forums run by people with somewhat of a following. The only way I see the little guys being hurt is if they don’t place the source of every quote they offer on their sites, or if they actually make money with those quotes. I praise the Lord many years ago He revealed to me that I must share the legit source to every quote I offer and or posted on Usenet when exposing the Roman Catholic church for two reasons. #1, it made it impossible for the Roman Catholic nay sayers on Usenet to refute the truth about their own church fathers and modern day prelates, and #2, the Lord knew this day would come when Rome’s attack on free speech would be realized and so I needed to make it a habit to post every source on every quote I found.

“In the wake of the news that a group of teenagers were unlikely to see any real punishment for gang-raping a 14-year-old girl and leaving her for dead, citizens of the German city of Hamburg called for new rules regarding violent crime committed by minors. On Monday, an online petition calling for the teens to see jail time had garnered some 21,000 signatures. “The sexual self-determination and integrity of a woman must have more weight than any concern for the perpetrators,” [of sexual crimes,] says the petition. …However, the authorities have made it clear that they came to this decision on their own, and were not swayed by such petitions, Spiegel Online reported. …The judge admitted that “the penalties may seem mild to the public,” but that the teens had all made confessions, appeared repentant and been judged to no longer present a danger to society. …Laws prosecuting perpetrators for sexual crimes in Germany have also come under fire after the string of assaults committed in the city of Cologne on New Year’s Eve.

“The latest WikiLeaks dump of John Podesta emails shows the Obama administration kept a list of high-profile Muslims it wanted to appoint to top administration jobs, sub-cabinet jobs and outside boards, agencies and policy committees. The 2008 emails reveal that it wasn’t enough to be Arab American, you had to be Arab and Muslim to make it onto this list.” –
Pope Francis is giving marching orders to members of his Jesuit order and their new superior. He wants them to go to the “peripheries” to serve freely and obediently.
“A Bible was removed from the waiting room of a Chillicothe Veteran Affairs Medical Center in Athens, Ohio after a veteran complained. “Our government is secular, and must remain secular,” the unidentified veteran wrote. Mikey Weinstein, the founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, fired off a letter to the medical center on behalf of the veteran – alleging that the presence of the Bible inside a government facility is a violation of the U.S. Constitution. Weinstein, a fussy man with a strong aversion to our Lord, said the Bible’s placement in the waiting room was “illicit and unconstitutional.” In other words, “Good Housekeeping” is fine, but the Good Book is not.” –
