    ALERT! Overreacting to Bill S.978, end of game footage, music, and other media

    Basically the entertainment industry is freaking out about sites embedding and streaming "infringed content" So right now a bill has been brought up to congress which, if passed, makes all streaming of any type of copyrighted media illegal in both criminal and civil law meaning any streaming of gaming, movies, cartoons, tv, music, anime, etc. will get you in trouble. For ex a video of a little girl singing a song by lady gaga will become a felony. This will highly affect the internet and it's freedoms.

    Honestly, I think this is frigging retarded. It may even hurt many businesses, especially the gaming industry because a lot of people go online and (for example) check out gaming reviews or watch gameplay before buying a game.

    TL;DR: Get fined or possibly go to jail for streaming copyrighted content. GG.


    What do you think FFR?

      This is called "overreacting"

          Damn. The Let's Play as we know it, as well as all sorts of video walkthroughs and various flavors of awesomesauce are all about to be destroyed. D:

          I've called my senators in the past about repealing DADT, but this time it's personal.

                      Yeah, I think the bill will most likely be veto'd, or rephrased. Even though it would somewhat affect the music and movie industry, it would pretty much phuc over the video game industry because they've had a huge reliability over the internet over the past few years

                          I will lose my respect for the US government if they actually pass something foolish like this.
