Apparently today is legitimately the deadline for a opportunity to speak up about the faults of the DMCA takedown system and digital copyright laws.

I posted my opinion. You guys should take the opportunity as well if you want to try and improve the internet as a whole. Lets hope something good comes out of it.

Every time a tweet is written or a video is posted to YouTube, trolls and corporate copyright holders see a way to abuse a law called the DMCA to stifle speech they don’t like, cut out their competitors or critics, or fleece someone for profit. They're even using robots to automatically take down other people’s work. Free speech and fair use are under attack, but now we have an opportunity to fight back! Right now, the U.S. Copyright Office wants to hear what's wrong with the DMCA and they need your input before end of day on Friday.
Tell the Copyright Office: stop bogus DMCA takedowns and protect free speech!
