More Copyright Bull****

What am I whining about? O.o
I too, hope that is sarcasm.
A) It's a completely biased system in favour of large IP (Intellectual Property) owners and corporations which allows them to completely abuse of their new grasp over the Internet. There are reasons it was shot down EVERY TIME it came up in political discussions (SOPA, PIPA, ACTA yadda yadda yadda).
This bias is shown in several aspects: 1) To make an appeal you must pay $35 - this should be FREE for it to be fair. 2) It is stated that educational materials would be provided but this is only half true since the warnings never truly educate the user about what they're actually doing, they only inform them of a transgression and refer to the law PLUS the user is not told exactly what it was they did, what the file was, where it was taken from etc. How is one to know what they are being punished for in these circumstances?
b) The system allows private entities to control who has a voice and who doesn't. This is poor business practice, goes against agreements about how our financial system is run and has very adverse affects on freedom of speech including totally blocking the legal "fair use" of copyrighted materials (which covers parody, education, review... etc).
There's more but I think that's enough to justify my position.
