For various reasons * I follow music industry news. One drum the record
industry has been beating *hard* in the past year is attempts to reduce the
DMCA "safe harbor" provisions in order to squeeze more money from YouTube.
It's been a running theme through 2016.
e.g.

http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/7624389/music-industry-congratul…
The DMCA "safe harbor" is otherwise known as "how Wikipedia is allowed to
exist".
so! Is this on our threat radar? Do they have any hope? How close are we to
another "call your Congressman" banner?
(I figure this is not a good time to say things like "well that could never
happen politically")
