Three copyright legislations have been packed into the spending bill which will be the final nail in the coffin for the internet.
1. The CASE Act - which would be illegal to share memes on social media platforms and bankrupt those through a tribunal in the Copyright Office with no chances of appeal or dismiss.
2. The Trademark Modernization - which would help stop trademark trolls. Not an issue.
3. Senator Tillis (R-NC) has a proposal that will make it a felony to stream gameplay or dancing baby videos that have copyrighted music in the background. Very similar to SOPA/PIPA.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has warned that it will be a chilling effect of free speech and freedom of innovation. Others organization in the opposition are: American Library Association, The Internet Archive, and the Center for Democracy and technology.
