If you are a gamer, you need to Oppose Bill S.978!
48 replies, posted
So a recent bill is trying to get passed in Congress that basically makes it a criminal offense to upload, stream, or have karaoke music in the background/singing it. You can go to prison for it and limits TV and video games of any type being uploaded to the internet. In other words, half of youtube would be taken away and we gamer who post walkthroughs after the bill is based could be put in prison. Here is a link to vote against it.

Your camera keeps skipping. Also what is that posted in the bottom left, it gets cut off at the rine thing.
oh wait nvm this sucks real bad.
I was going to make one of these, but I was afraid i would get [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/box.png[/img]'s shoved up my ass.
This bill is still up for approval. It has to go through the president, etc.
I seriously, doubt that this is going to pass. Im sure Congress wouldnt be stupid enough to pass such a thing.
Just my 2 cents, even though im british.
I'm a gamer, but I don't need to oppose the bill.
It doesn't matter to me, at all.
Can someone make me an avatar of his face and reverse it
I don't think you understand how this works, but that's fine, drawing attention to it is cool too.
If this passes, will you guys be able to view videos someone from another country post?
'Cause if not, gamer videos are going to shit on English since, what, 75% of viewers are from America, there won't be such a need for speaking English, people are going to start uploading on their own language, which will fragment the society to shit.
Great first post Op.
Thanks for the new avatar op
It's another case of bills being written too vaugley
It won't be passed
Obama isn't some retarded tech illiterate, and I'm sure that even congress members have heard music on youtube before. All this hype about it is unnecessary
You won't be jailed for stuff you already have up if this goes through.

Email sent.[/QUOTE] I believe it violates the 1st Amendment if I am correct, but it is still up and running in congress. The person who created this bill is the same woman who tried getting the law passed that you legally have to be 18 in order to play rated M games.
Signed, even though I'm in Canada, this is bullshit.

I don't see how it violates anything. You're distributing copyrighted material without the creator's consent.
It still won't go through, though.

Game creators LOVE when people upload videos of people playing their game and showing off walkthroughs, if they didn't we wouldn't have websites like IGN and machinima. Also... E3 would not be allowed to be broadcasted over the internet like it has been for the past several years. You're talking TV and literally every other type of online streaming. Netflix would be gone too.
It won't pass ffs
