Senate bill 978 states it would be a felony to stream media with copyrighted content.
This means if it gets passed, uploading a youtube video containing a popular song, or a "Let's play" would be considered a felony, and possibly landing the individual 5 years of hard time.
TELL YOUR SENATORS YOU DON'T WANT THIS!!
Edit:
Requesting a sticky or some sort of highlight on the site. This is really important, especially if you like watching Game Trailers, game trailers, AMVs, MVs, LPs, Game guides and more!

ikr, I doubt the fbi or cyber police would go on a cross country search for a man who uploaded a popular song from youtube who has 10,000 views. Like honestly, there's hundreds of songs uploaded everyday, I'm sure the bill would not be that severe.
Go read it. It's being voted on now.

do these frigin people that made the bill trying to start a revolution. theres also another one going on number something 10 tried to find vid but failed. it's on video where it's a felon to post a vid of a part of a movie show or video game without the copy-write owners permish.
Don't bare the name if you can't play the game!

It would also mean its illegal to make game walkthrough video or a gameplay vid.
Edit: like someone said partially above me

I'm pretty sure that America doesn't own the world yet - they can't just go around introducing new laws to countries they don't even have an alliance with.
My brain is open.

America can not tell other countries "we have a law and you have to follow it too" no. what you said was ignorant and just retarded. AMERICA MAKES LAWS FOR AMERICANS AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN AMERICA. not for the rest of the world. i can't believe you would even say something that dumb. |

This. If you don't live in America, this won't directly affect you.
