I think too, it will have a massive influence on all sites with the possibility of uploading pictures.

It already started last year, with many german sites taking down pictures of our favorite hobby or worse deleting them. Whole paint logs gone forever, because they would not risk a legal case. They were unable to control the content, showing people faces. I mean which filter will notice the diffence between a painted face and a real human face. NUTS. Photo galleries had to close, because, they could not proove they had the rights to show the faces of the peoples.

Another problem i see, is: BoW will have to make a licensing contract with the people uploading pictures, as i understand. So they can use them further on the site, like for the Weekender or the community Spotlight. Or someone could sue them for using those, without further agreement. NUTS.

But it is just from what i heard. It is complicated und totally not userfriendly. But who am i to tell. My colleagues at work still ask me why the PED starts at 0,5 bar and if there is a way to bypass (there are ways, but not in our case).
