Which of our ambassadors signed this on Ireland's behalf, and when can we expect our apology.

Here's a satirical pre-movie warning.

Any remaining memories are yours to keep and enjoy, provided you do not discuss them with others or make them available via mankind’s collective unconscious. In addition, your experience of this film may not be remixed in any form; dreams involving any of its characters must adhere strictly to the film’s actual plotline and running time, and must also comply with copyright laws in your state or territory. Any sexual fantasies based on it may not exceed the film’s M.P.A.A. rating.

Thing is,this is how they want the internet.Don't upload this,don't download that,don't discuss anything in case the big boys lose money.

I can imagine Sean Sherlock's apology: "I'm sorry for signing the yoke about the internet,they told me to do it.Sure what do I know about computers anyway"
