YouTube and Myspace users will need to get a licence if the idiots at the EU get their way.Anyone posting video clips on the internet or sending them via text would need a ridiculous licence for the privilage!!These new EU regulations would even classify personal websites as,I quote,'television-like services'.Just how many websites would this force to close ?Has the EU EVER made a sensible,rational decision in its whole existance? And just who are these people that come up with this crap in the first place? I think they pay someone to sit at a desk all day and come out with the most stupid proposals they can;then pay them a fortune for it.The EU of course,are the ones that told us bananas needed to be grown at a certain angle before they could be sold.I think they are the ones who are bananas.What do you think.

The really sad part of this is that the lunatics are running the asylum, and they are not even elected but nominated. Why should an unelected body dictate the laws and why should we have to abide with them. Other countries don't it's only stupid Bliar that makes us do it, it's time they were all out and quickly.

Well that really takes the biscuit doesn't it, out of all the stupid things they have made new laws on, this one tops the lot, but then again with all the license fees they are going to have to pay for accessing computer information to see whats going on it might made them bankrupt and send them to the wall, yeah OK I live in La La land too just like the people in the EU, it won't work.

Thats nothing. The BBC want you to have to have a licence for a TV card in your pc. And American senators are being badgered to vote for a tiered internet service. Spain has dealt with illegal filesharing on peer to peer networks, not by enforcing copywrite legislation but by making the software illegal - so what aboout vets, doctors and scientists who share information?
The whole system is coming under corporate control.

Wait. Let me guess...they'll be charging a gargantuan fee for the license. Am I right? If the EU requires licenses for European users, what happens with the rest of us?
'Wankers' is right.
