I'm pleased to reflect that I've neither read any newspapers nor watched TV for many years now; I get all my news about the world from BBC Radio.
The issue about paying fees, including even linking to stuff, well that's completely nightmarish. If the measures suggested here were enacted then it would cripple the internet... interpretation of intellectual copyright is enough of a minefield already for individuals and a goldmine for lawyers.
It was a basic foolish mistake on his part, but a guy recently got billed for over £700 for using a tiny photo on his website which belonged to somebody else (I heard this on the BBC News!) Just imagine the worry that these measures would cause... people would just stop using the web
