Does anyone worry that they might take the remaining enjoyable videos off youtube?

with all these copyright laws coming through in this time, in this era, these draconian internet bills coming from the united states.....government regulation, restriction and censorship of the internet by the government.

i mean inspite of this u.s sopa bill....do you think it will reach the stage where they remove ' everything ' that they perceive is in breach of copyright?.......no matter how big or small?

remove images even from the net, pictures, jpg picture files even that people use as their avatars, like on yahoo answers?

if isps in the uk are already censoring users online activity and restricting downloading sites....banning users from the internet who get caught downloading etc - where will be left to get our media downloads from?

and will it get to the stage soon where they will remove all the remaining classic music videos, clips from youtube, that users have uploaded - reducing youtube to just corporate modern entertainment only?

without any old classic youtube music videos etc left? will it get to that stage?

It could. SOPA will pretty much allow an entire site to be shutdown for something as simple as having a song in your video that you don't own. So any site with user generated content can be shutdown because some of the content has the chance of being copyrighted. This is why that everyone is pretty much anti-SOPA. Here a link to a video talking about the bill and how it can effect us.
