Re: This Q thread and Free Republic itself could soon disappear

The House passed a new copyright bill (the CASE Act) on October 22, 2019, and in the Senate it has been approved by the Committee on the Judiciary without amendment.

As outlined in the bill, damages would be capped at $15,000 for each infringed work [article, photo, cartoon, etc.] I fear that FR would not survive the financial loss of paying multiple damages for copyright infringement, and with that kind of money involved, lawsuits would inevitably follow.

Concerning copyright infringement, Admin Moderator graciously explained to us yesterday in the Q thread that...

"The problem is, we can't check every thread. We depend on all members to report issues wherever and whenever they're found."

This is done by finding the words "Report Abuse" (found on the bottom line of each reply) -- it is a clickable link. Click it and write 'copyright' in the message box.

So, it's not being a troll or a snitch to report abuse of copyright... it's literally helping to save something that we love and rely on, Free Republic!
