Oh, yeah! I can easily foresee from where this statement has been sent to Mrs. Warren (since politicians are only the puppets of lobbysts). It had to be one affiliated to copywrong cartel. Let's think! Someone writes a book explaining why unauthorized downloads from torrents or filehosting sites do not harm sales? (Many evidences were collected about this). Suddenly it is issued an order to cease to sell this book!
Imagine you are an independent writer, music composer, painter, and so on... You don't want to affilate to any cartel like MPA or RIAA, producing and selling on internet your own works. These kind of societies who suck money from affiliates pockets, will be notbso happy you successfully bypassed their monopoly of content distribution.
So, they asked to layers and tech experts, who know very good the internet, how to stop competion (LEGITIMATE COMPETITION) by the part of independent creators. They went out with upload filters whose final goal is turn internet from opened to everyone contribute, into a network where only few entities can upload andbmake money and, if you too want make money from your OWN work, you need to go trough these societies that cost you money.
You can be blocked from upload your OWN music, your OWN drawings, your OWN books, softwares and many others. For people like me, that is an independent creator, this would be the ruin, the bankrupt! Exactly what they want with upload filters
