Matt Drudge warns that the very foundation of the free Internet is under severe threat from copyright laws that could ban independent media outlets, revealing that he was told directly by a Supreme Court Justice, “It’s over for me.”

”“I had a Supreme Court Justice tell me it’s over for me,” said Drudge. “They’ve got the votes now to enforce copyright law, you’re out of there. They’re going to make it so you can’t even use headlines.””

If this indeed goes through as Drudge is alleging this will affect a LOT of media sites and I could even see it affecting our own ability to post links like I have done here.

Irregardless of what your opinion is of Matt Drudge, I am asking this because this is serious and could have a profound impact on the dissemination of news and opinions and is IMO a First Amendment issue concerning the freedom of the press.

Is this genuinely about “establishment interests that have since corralled Internet users into a handful of social media sites where dangerous groupthink can blossom in favor of the status quo, he pointed out” where powers that be are attempting to silence influential conservative media sites like Drudge and Jones who stir up trouble for Liberals and Liberal media outlets…or is this just sour grapes from the likes of Drudge and Alex Jones?

What are your thoughts on this?
