Idk.. maybe you should ask the Flood?
I'm used to posting there - edited the post.It's cool. I'm about to go read the details of OPEN and I'll edit this post in a bit with a response.
(b) APPLICABILITY OF SECTION. It shall be unlawful to operate or maintain an Internet site dedicated to infringing activity.Wow, they really went for a -blam!-load of relative ambiguity on that one, didn't they? What's to define if a website is DEDICATED to infringing activity? YouTube is dedicated to the upload of videos. Uploading SOME videos is infringing activity. So is YouTube dedicated to infringing activity, if only in a minor way?
(3) CONSULTATIONS. In conducting an investigation initiated under paragraph (1), the Commission shall consult with, and seek advice and information from, the Attorney General, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of Commerce, the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator, the United States Trade Representative, and such other officials as the Commission considers appropriate
Really? The Commission is going to consult with the Attorney General, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator for EVERY SINGLE review and investigation performed? That would take way to long and nothing would get done! Not that I want anything to get done but the above people would basically have to live and work at the home-base of the Commission (wherever it is) to handle all of the issues submitted for review!
