Basically it's a bill intended to stop all the downloadin' online... by forcing us to REGISTER our works with private companies. If not, then other companies/websites can take work claiming "Oh well we couldn't find the original author" and they could steal the work and be completely covered by the law.

In other words, intellectual property right is out the window.

I've already contacted my congressional representatives about this. You guys should do the same.
