What can we do to oppose this idiocy that is trampling legitimate fair-use provisions of otherwise licensed content? It's been 10 years since the SOPA protests and while we may have stopped that three headed monster, the global situation with USA attempting to expand DMCA and similar measures to other countries is atrocious.
Other than recent EU court rulings potentially expanding what constitutes fair-use in that territory the situation is not looking good in the West.
