This is way late. Sorry everyone, can a mod close this thread please?[URL="http://youtube.com/watch?v=ib7-vSrp6y8"][/URL]
Hope this doesn't pass.
I know that there's alot of hooplah about this bill, and I understand why, but...
and I may be reading this wrong...
While the part about the offenses to streaming equaling 10 in a 180 day period is true, another requirement must be met- the loss of 2500$ from the copyright holder or the gaining of 2500$ to the streamer.
[quote]`(2) shall be imprisoned not more than 5 years, fined in the amount set forth in this title, or both, if--
`(A) the offense consists of 10 or more public performances by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copyrighted works; and
`(B)(i) the total retail value of the performances, or the total economic value of such public performances to the infringer or to the copyright owner, would exceed $2,500; or
`(ii) the total fair market value of licenses to offer performances of those works would exceed $5,000;'; and... (it goes on to describe what reproduction, distribution, and public performance legally mean)[/quote]
So I'm not so certain that this is indeed what everyone makes it out to be.
It says the same thing in both versions of the Senate bill.

Senate bill 968, however, is what we should be worried about. Protect IP goes above and beyond this bill.
I suppose this is late, somehow?

Yes you are late, how about do five fucking seconds of searching before you post something?
For fucks sake there's two other threads with the same exact video on page one of the video forum.[/QUOTE]

I hope this does pass, Youtube'll be cleansed of "montages" and machinima can go back to the way it was years ago.

Well he was a bit inconsiderate, seeing as how I made a stupid mistake and should have made better use of the search function.
