What the bill does do is nonetheless impose an obligation on dominant social media and other digital news intermediaries to bargain. That obligation sits alongside whatever use is permitted under the Copyright Act. The consequences of not bargaining under this bill are distinct and separate from questions of infringement of copyright. This bill does not speak to whether it's an infringement of the Copyright Act or of copyright. What it says is that if a digital news intermediary does not bargain, consequences might potentially stem from that.
