What struck me from the article:

>For example, successful copyright plaintiffs usually win attorneys' fees if they have a registered copyright.

That means that the MAFIAA gets their legal fees back if they sue the 9-yr old down the street and win?

IMO that's pretty messed up.

I believe the article said defendants are exempt from paying legal fees to the other side. The rule would be "plantiffs's pay when they lose."
