They have the potential to radically alter or shut down sites like YouTube, Flickr, 4chan, others, and all new companies that follow
Should this go into effect, most of us can kiss our hoo-ha's goodbye. Many sites will be unavailable due to infringement.
many sites may become a "blocked" site for those of us in the U.S.. You posted a piece of the lyrics to a song on Facebook? Red lights flashing. Youtube? Their going to have a field day with this. You want free anime and music? You receive the scraps that the publishers give you. Remember reading manga online? Time to buy a physical copy and translate it yourself.
Also, many sites that are currently following the "order" of the DMCA will be in hot water.
So many things come about from this restriction and preemptive prosecution. The mere thought that this is reaching the Senate has me wondering, "WTF?!"
