Both of those: credible sources.

Techdirt? Not so much.

I hope that provides more value to the story.

I take this all as an indication that the industry, especially with the hire of someone like Abrams, is seriously pushing the issue and plans to make it an issue in the next election if they don't get what they want before then.

If this is so devastating why doesnt Google do a "mock seizure" in which there search engine is seized by the government. They cant out influence Hollywood, but they sure can cause a ruckus online.
