Music World Bands Together Against YouTube, Seeking Change to Law
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/01/business/media/music-world-bands-together-against-youtube-seeking-change-to-law.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
In its newest effort, the music industry has asked the federal
government to change the Digital Millennium Copyright Act,
saying that the law, which was passed in 1998 and protects
sites like YouTube that host copyrighted material posted by
users, is outdated and makes removing unauthorized content too
difficult.

In the current political environment, any changes to the DMCA with a
significant chance of passage will almost certainly make it WORSE, not
better. And the "old guard" music industry exemplified by these
complainants are rushing to do that damage as quickly as possible.
