Copyright Office review of DMCA Safe Harbor could kill Fair Use

Big corporations are demanding the Copyright Office to review and revise or remove Section 512 of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) which protects websites from being trolled and bullied. Removing or revising Section 512 of the DMCA will eventually kill Fair Use and put an kick an ordinary citizen off the internet and be fined and sent to prison who posts videos of a dancing baby or keyboard playing cat with copyrighted music playing in the background, upload a fan work of a copyrighted anime, cartoon, movie or fictional work to websites like DeviantArt. dA would be forced to police, remove the fan art category, ban users who upload fan works or otherwise it would be the end of dA as we know it.
