STOP Bill S.978

[mag36]

Im sure most of you have heard of this bill that congress have wrote but those of you that havent..... It pretty much takes away the right of users to stream copyrighted content over the internet. Its suppose to help the film and music industry with people uploading ther movies online. But drasticly hurts the gaming industry where it end up being a felony to post game footage as well. Here is a vid that can explain more

at least some companies like mojang would give us free roam over video making, IF this crap does pass.....

It'll never pass.

Bills like this almost never get passed, and when they do they get shot down by the courts. Entertainment lobbiest are just annoying

ummm, if you watch it, they put a little edit onto the video. you only can be effected if you upload a certain ammount in a 180-day period, AND you make more than 2500$ off of them.

lets plays are absolutely fine, so long as you don't charge to see them

I'm sure tgwtg makes a lot of money off of let's plays. This sort of bill would cripple sites like them.
