It should not be passed. But while the copyright laws are meant to favor hollywood and the film industry in bits, overall, the point is to subvert national law in favor of corporate profits- not so much any one government. Sure, it is the US trying to shove it down our throats, but that is mostly because the American Gov't is the present fascist dictatorial mask worn by the same ol' powers that be to screw the have nots in favor of the haves. Same as it ever was. But yes, this is BS and should be raged against. Problem is many Americans are asleep at the wheel watching the election circus, too worried about having a job tomorrow, or to stupid to realize that this law will effectively end national sovereignty in favor of corporate profit rule.... But I still hope people will wake up before they swallow this.
