Interesting. The breathless hysteria of the blog was a bit off-putting, but he did seem to make a few good points. He focused on who loses under the legislation discussed (i.e., those who expect to be paid for their photographs but nonetheless distribute their work via social media). The more pertinent question might be who gains? It seems that Murdoch and his ilk must be be overjoyed that they will receive an open invitation to piracy. Instead of blathering about "The Government" and "The Act" as though these abstractions were living breathing people, he should be thinking about the legislators and their corporate partners.
