It essentially could make any expression of interest by a man illegal. Oh, I know, they won’t prosecute that…unless they do.

On the online Euro censorship law: it would outlaw all the funny pictures where people put comments on items from the news or random photos (memes) because you would have to pay the originator. It would outlaw fair use. And the idea that linking to a site is bad is so crazy–that is how a site gets customers, by people linking to it.
