If this is true I wonder how the government is going to stop this type of abuse once the DEA comes into force. Or would it be down to everyone to become copywrong sorry copyright specialists

If (and its looking like an "if") the DEA comes into force without major amendments, then the waters WILL get distinctly "muddy".
Any poor sod that finds themselves falsely accused will have a very steep hill to climb.
We really should "pray" very hard that the proposed review results in wholesale change
