Congress is trying to pass a bill that makes it so that if you post TEN videos containing ANY copyrighted material, you may be sent to jail.

This includes, but is not limited to:

games
music

Let's list all the people going to jail!

Remember, has to be in the USA and have ten videos containing most likely games/music!

There would be way too many people going to jail, just seems ridiculous and unnecessary.

[otto-san]

It may be to distract from illegal immigrants, I don't know though.

[aludane]

This could affect me because loads of people that post game videos I watch come from America.
