Well at least we've got an election coming in the next couple of months so if this law gets through, the government will have an even higher chance of getting their asses kicked out the door. Some government really needs to stand up to these bullies and make copyright laws that make sense instead of extending copyright to a stage where we're all going to end up throwing copyright lawsuits at each other for something as simple as a freaking toothbrush design. These greedy companies need a serious wake up call.
