Internet publishing law

Every day millions of articles are being published on the Internet and the Web. Every single active web page has received an update and some new copyright protected material has seen the light of day. The enormous speed that the Internet provides for publishing purposes is unparalleled and therefore required a tailored law regulation to make it work.
While many do not want to put up any limitations on what may or may not be published on the Net, some other nations, for whatever reason, see the situation differently. China came up with a very controversial proposal for regulating publishing on the Internet. The National Copyright Administration of China decided that unauthorized publishing needs to be harnessed by new regulations, which should look like this: Any and all online publication may be republished without the beforehand approval of the author and copyright holder, unless there is clearly stated that these works may not be used and reused.
That the regulation makes no sense is evident, when you know that all published material falls under the copyright protection and cannot be republished without prior approval of the copyright holder. In a manner of speaking, China just said they don’t intend to uphold existing copyright laws.
But lately all internet pages have a publishing policy written somewhere, mostly within the terms of use or the disclaimer, stating exactly what may be done and what may not. In most of the cases, the published content is not only copyright protected, but also protected by publishing and release agreements which most commonly are posted somewhere on the site.
Publishing on the Internet is the most widely discussed issue in the Internet law circle, mainly because of the extensive plagiarization of content happening everywhere on the Web. Blogs being copied, with only names and dates changed, articles being completely or partly republished without permission, most of the time someone else claiming authorship and other such occurrences raise the question to what extent is the copyright law in Internet publishing enforceable and how do you take somebody to court who has just stolen your written work which you were providing for free and republished it for free on another website?
If every act of plagiarism on the Internet is being taken to court, then the courts of the world would be tied up in litigation for centuries to come. How to regulate, enforce, protect and punish in such cases, where there is clearly too much happening and too many perpetrators are at work? Perhaps it is best to just ask the administrator of the web page publishing copyrighted material to simply take it down.
