A buyer of Infowars could copyright strike content and take down channels that disseminate Alex Jones' material.

But were someone else to buy the company, they wouldn't have to follow that. They could copyright strike all kinds of stuff. They could take us down in theory.

Alex Jones cannot legally distribute law enforcement training manuals on CD-ROM because it would constitute copyright infringement.

I can't legally take things out of whole cloth and just resell other people's stuff. Really? Copyright is your argument. I've got copyright infringement to worry about. Wholesale dump the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center and the FBI's training manuals on CDs and sell them. See, I wasn't realizing that you had some complication there, but I knew that. Yeah, I can't say take.

Alex Jones misrepresents the CASE Act as a bill that imposes fines on individuals for posting memes.

So in this narrative, Alex is misrepresenting the Copyright Alternative and Small Claims Enforcement Act of 2019, or the CASE Act. The act is designed to make it easier for holders of copyrights to protect their copyrighted protected work without having to subject themselves to lengthy and expensive court proceedings. It would mostly involve creating small claims court mechanisms to simplify the process and expedite it and make it so you don't have to exert tons. Because that does disincentivize people from Protecting what is theirs.

The CASE Act is designed to simplify copyright enforcement for rights holders rather than outlaw memes.

So in this narrative, Alex is misrepresenting the Copyright Alternative and Small Claims Enforcement Act of 2019, or the CASE Act. The act is designed to make it easier for holders of copyrights to protect their copyrighted protected work without having to subject themselves to lengthy and expensive court proceedings. It would mostly involve creating small claims court mechanisms to simplify the process and expedite it and make it so you don't have to exert tons. Because that does disincentivize people from Protecting what is theirs. What they have intellectual rights to. If it costs you more to fight against it than it would be to just ignore it, then why the hell would you fight against it? Right, when you have every reason to fight. Exactly. Ultimately, this legislation is not just a way to outlaw memes. Although memes could definitely be seriously affected. But here's the thing. What people are doing with memes, in many cases, is already illegal. When it involves clearly copyrighted material, it's... Technically illegal. Well, yeah. People are allowed to get away with it because most of the time the copyright holders know it's more hassle than it's worth to go after someone who's illegally breaching their copyright. The Case Act doesn't make anything illegal that was previously legal. It really is just about making it easier for people to protect their own intellectual property.

Copyright extension laws were specifically designed to delay Mickey Mouse entering the public domain.

They keep extending the date beyond which something becomes... Public, uh, uh, what is it? Domain. Fair use? Public domain? Uh, specifically based on the date at which Mickey Mouse would become public domain.

Supreme Court justices have indicated that copyright laws will soon ban the use of news headlines.

I would also advise people to not waste their time on this. I had a Supreme Court justice tell me to my face, it's over for me. Which one? Matt, it's over for you. They've got the votes now to enforce copyright law. You're out of there. They're going to make it so headlines you can't even use headlines.

17 Aug 2017
The Supreme Court is preparing to rule that websites cannot link to news headlines, effectively ending the Drudge Report model.

To have a Supreme Court justice say that to my face, that it's over. They've got the votes, which means time is limited. Time is not forever. How many more moons and sunrises will you see in your life rise and flow? There's not that many. It's a small amount. So for people to be saying with this ad. I'll get on with my Sometime. No. No, you can't. We're being enslaved now, and that's it. Under the TPP, they admit you can't put a headline to the New York Times. You're sending massive traffic to them. They're claiming you're taking their words. This is insane. And you had the Justice Stephen Breyer said, we need to look at a global law. Oh, was it Breyer? I remember just recently getting it lined up with it. So, they're getting ready for these decisions to come. You thought Obamacare was shocking. You thought some of these other decisions were shocking. Wait until these copyright laws work their way up and the Supreme Court decides you cannot have a website with news headlines linking.
