This is my statement in response to

-----
I am Michael Warot, a US Citizen residing in Munster, Indiana.
In regard to question 3: It is my observation that "voluntary" copyright enforcement mechanisms are being used as a means of censorship by parties who wish to prohibit criticism of themselves or their content in a form. The fair use exemption of copyright law requires careful consideration, and can not be automated, nor should it be.
Therefor, as concerns question 7: I believe that legislation should be undertaken to prohibit the automation of copyright infringement claims. While it may be reasonable to automate a screening process, if content is deemed to infringe copyright, the name of a US Citizen who made the decision, their reason for the decisions, and the time/date of their decision, and if they are employed by a corporation to make that decision, the name and contact information of that superior should ALL be part of a public record, to be made available in bulk to the US public to help use provide oversight of the process.
Thank you very much for your time and attention.
