The problem stated in the report (the second link in the message the first post refers to) is quite valid. What to do if a copyright holder can't be found? On the other hand, the proposed rules could easily lead to ripping of copyright holders. The committee and the senators were only concerned with the US, disregarding the fact that the world is larger than the US alone. It only takes a little twisting to read their recommendations as "you can do anything you want, as long as the copyright holder is not a US citizen." In this regard I agree with the moron statement by BARTWORX.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
