Explains how the new copyright rules will take away from the public interest and undermine the internet freedom of users through leaving out Fair Use, expanding excessive copyright terms, enabling censorship by copyright takedown, empowering heavy-handed enforcement against infringement, and banning tinkering with software and digital devices.
