Related to that - has anyone looked at Mandy's latest draft for 3
strikes?

If posting a 'mashup' containing copyrighted material you're not
licensed to use on YouTube could fall foul of it, then it might tie
neatly in with the EU report on user generated content.

That, I think, would make a far more forceful petition to kill the
proposed legislation and make non-commercial use of copywritten material
more acceptable.

[I've seen a lot of home-made videos for songs on YouTube where a
takedown has forced removal of the audio].
