A Bill that makes all Video Game material ILLEGAL

[tangletail]

My patience with america's congress is waning. Who the heck makes such a bill, when normally streaming of video, music or anything is acceptable to the origional artist. The original artist normally doesn't care, if they did care you would hear a lot more about people being sued then normal. Stupid Radical Americans >.<

i FOUND OUT BY THEEND04500  IF THEY PASS IT I CANT UPLOAD GAMEPLAY.. :

besides, music artists already make tons of money in concert

So um, this would only affect the US and a few more countries?
Or will it apply for ALL content uploaded to the internet?

[Puncia]

All I believe. Because anybody that uses copyrighted material are made violators by streaming or uploading any media affected by this copyright law. It's the copyright owner's right to shut everybody down.

It will all apply Directly in the US.
All music,movies,games,tv shows etc based in the us will be taken down no matter where you live.
In other places copyright laws are still in effect no matter where you live.

[Puncia]

Yeah. Exactly. What he said.

[tangletail]

That's bullcrap! It doesn't even benefit anyone, nor will it actually stop anything. No matter what law you pass people are going to torrent, bare guns, rob banks etc.

[WingedZephyr]

It would be nice if one of these days companies and artists started to work WITH the way the rest of the world is going, instead of making more laws to act like band-aids to "fix the problem." May as well be trying to stop a tidal wave with a fishing net.

or they can be sane and just us p2p websites like me .
It does benefit the companies in some ways though like it or not.
I agree completely though as i mentioned above it isnt going to stop anyone.

As mentioned in the video I've linked, these politicians are just sitting there with a guy whispering in their ears that "there are people copying stuff out there and stealing and that's bad" and they're like "Yeah this needs to be stopped!" and they have no clue about how things are. They don't have enough knowledge about this to pass another "band-aid law" as Zeph calls it.

I expect it won't pass though

[Philly Tanuki]

I'm honestly not the least bit worried about it.  Even if they do pass it, it won't last.  Besides it's not like every single bill is followed straight to the type anyway.  And furthermore they really can't jail somebody for doing something like this because it would be a huge waste of money and there wouldn't be any room in the jails.

[Count of Cutesy]

If this bill were to pass, I would do some thing so bad, so evil, so absolutely heinous and violent that I don't even know what it is yet.

 

[Puncia]

I've heard that it actually got voted down and didn't pass, because it interfered with that Freedom of Speech stuff.
