Good examples. But they are examples before a bill is even in place. As you said checks and balances. The recording industry jumps the gun right now. But they wont once a proper bill is in place. I am sure that whatever bill comes to pass it will have the checks and balances you speak of.
For each example you gave there are hundreds of clips on youtube that have songs in their entirety. Youtube should not have pulled the videos from the link you gave me they are getting paranoid as well.
If an anti piracy bill does not have those checks and balances you speak of than I am not for it. Pulling the videos you linked to is like preventing someone from singing a song to themselves in public.
An anti piracy bill should only protect copyrighted material in its original form or prevent people from trying to make money off the material. So if the kid singing the song on youtube was somehow trying to make a buck off it, there would be a problem.
