US Congress seeks small claims track for copyright claims
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/12/08/congress_wants_small_claims_track_for_copyright_claims/
"The US Congress has published plans backed by both main US parties to
reform the Copyright Office - and it wants your views. Amongst the
proposals is a small claims track to make fighting The Man easier."
""Host a small claims system consistent with the report on the issue
released by the Copyright Office. The small claims system should handle
low value infringement cases as well as bad faith Section 512 notices.
The Register [that's the Copyright Register, not us] should be given the
authority to promulgate regulations to ensure that the system works
efficiently.""

"In its recent Maoist phase

UK's equivalent toyed with the idea of making registration compulsory to
receive protection -- before it was explained that this made the UK a
rogue state under Berne."
