Author Topic: US Congress: The End of "Let's Play" and Gaming Stream videos?  (Read 3846 times)

Guys its in early stages and is probably going to be revised.  There's a crapton of these videos around youtube telling all their 1000s of youtube followers to send angry letters to congress. 

Congress is handicapped, but they are not trying to make gaming suck, they're trying to make it so all the cigarettes who are live streaming full movies and TV shows will stop.  I'm sure after congress receives their boatloads of angry letters they will revise it so it does not include every single copyrighted work in existence.

In other words, the bill has a good aim, but the current terms cover too much to be reasonable?

If this happens.

forget it, I'm moving to Sweden.

It's funny because 95% of the people who claim they're moving won't do stuff.

And the other 5?

Guys, all of Machinima and The whole Steam Community  is onto this right now, I don't think this'll be much of a problem for the internet.

In the small case this does get passed...


What will happen to Yogscast?

Why don't any of the sources actually show us the bill?  We just get to hear about how terrible it is and take their word for it.  I would like to see the bill for myself.

Yeah, it's worded so that it includes all copyrighted materials.  Congress just doesn't understand how video games and the internet are so closely linked and that they're totally loving over a huge community.

I thought this was already illegal.

It is, but the US constitution isn't really followed anyway.
