Now, I am a Canadian, so this shouldn't affect me a lot, but it does. I love the site That Guy With the Glasses, and so I don't want it to shut down or anything, so naturally this upsets me quite a bit.
Now I'm not a law specialist, but it bugs me for several reasons. For one thing, haven't these people heard of free speech, and how this would limit it? Second, fair use anyone? Third, people enjoy the entertainment these videos provide (if the site is a video site). Fourth, if we have to download stuff, it's usually because we can't purchase the product legally (game soundtracks come to my mind).
If you don't know about this whole fiasco, here's a few links.
