it's scary that it might become a crime to voice your opinion on the web.

Well, maybe. First, what you posted wasn't your opinion, it was somebody else's copyrighted opinion. Second, is it okay for me to voice opinions about you if I know they are false and will damage you? I firmly believe it will never become a crime to voice YOUR opinion on the web as long as that opinion would not be actionable if printed and posted on the door of the post office (a standard location for some notices in our small town). To me, it's scarier that it would NOT be a crime to defame somebody or voice a knowingly false and damaging opinion or publish copyrighted materials just because it was all done electronically instead of on paper.
