    It would never work ... forums would die a death for starters. Heck the number of topics on this forum alone would be cut by half if that ever became law!

    The newspapers wouldn't be worried about that though. And anyway, we would just have to start making an effort to put the news into our own words. Maybe not a bad thing.
