A proposal in the U.S. could see cloud service companies offering CDNs, virtual services, and proxies, to positively identify every customer.

      No need to assume, you can see this on all of their comment history. They are claiming ownership of their words, or in the context, ownership of how they’ve arranged others words

          I want to see the first DMCA takedown for a comment “pirating” another user’s comment.
