Welcome to 1998. That was when the DMCA was passed - signed by president Clinton. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Ac...

It hasn't gotten any better since.

Yes, I know, I was none too happy about it in 1998, either - but I didn't know about the ten-day mandatory waiting period. Also, we didn't have YouTube yet or video blogs yet, so the issue of direct interference with free speech was not nearly so dire.

Actually, it's in the process of getting worse!

I might have used a little bit of understatement. You may not be totally familiar with the idiom.
