Comment on A SOPA compromise is floated

Comments

This proposal just buries the process inside an agency that is ill-equipped to handle the tax. It will be completely ineffective in actually combating copyright infringement, but will cost a bunch of money. What value does that add to anyone? I'd rather spend that money on about 1,000 other public services first.

And there is simply no way they will win with a process that takes months and months. They can't even stop fake goods from coming in all the time, and that requires a factory, a shipper, a receiver, a distributor, and network of guys on the street peddling fake goods to strangers that could easily be police. Do we really believe this will ever keep up with the pace of evolving copyright infringement methods?
