People don't seem to understand that the entertainment industry doesn't just lobby in the US, but worldwide. A few years ago we had the SOPA scare which imposed draconian measures to stop copyright infringement, and those were proposed by the US. We'll have to accept that every few years, a lobbying attempt manages to get a concrete proposal to the floor either in Congress or in the Commission, and we'll have to respond with outrage every time.
