Remember: you don't have to be an artist, photographer or performer to be threatened by this bill. Anything you've ever posted on the internet would be exposed to commercial infringement unless you've registered it with a couple of large corporate databases. These databases would then control access to your intellectual property.That threatens the passive copyright protection all citizens now take for granted. And that threatens our personal property, freedom of speech and the right to privacy embodied in copyright law.
