END OF YOUTUBE? Bill S.978 Threatens many Channels

[Kelly14UK]

I put vids up to give people what they want on a night they'll be looking for it. Innocent stuff. Yet that's a big deal FFS.

[animator297]

@Mrluigilover3 You're forgetting that Youtube is an American website.

[tamkins777]

Oh yes and 98% of youtubers will be in jail!

[HubbyHair]

so if i Upload Porn or any Other Nasty or Horror Videos on YouTube'

& 3 of them get Taken Down' the Cops Would be at my Door in a Flash ???

[josmasterofvideos]

Is the bill s 978 active? Just got 1 strike only yesterday on a Game video!

[123danyk123]

I heard it passed it that true ????? :'(

[coolbo7963]

@123danyk123 not yet.

[123danyk123]

@coolbo7963 k thank u :)

[scifi2639]

I am writing to my congressman about this bill, becuase I have to for my Government class, but I thought it would be a good topic for the letter. I really hope this doesn't pass.

[ZaynChu]

Well its good if your not american!

[upallhours9]

@ZaynChu But YouTube is an American-based site, I'm sure authorities could cross international waters if they wanted.

[R3cklessExo]

If this Bill was Passed, almost everybody in the world would be put in JAIL as they said they would if someone posted a copyrighted video.

[AAA51458]

fuck im a newb on youtube gay this happens

[ChBgt909]

vevo, umg, and now this!?!??!

FUCK THIS SHIT!! if they approve this bill i quit youtube!!

[lechaos1]

Libertydogfight I totally agree

[loveless8223]

copyright sucks ...thank god there's nothing like that in my country

[SmilingAssassin0823]

If this bill passes, the music industry will go from having too many people putting their content online to having too many people asking for permission to use their content, so basically they'll be annoyed either way.

[SujanTheClaw]

You can't have people who know nothing about technology make bills about technology. Yeah there's things that need some legal help on the internet... but you can't have old men who know nothing about the internet making laws about the internet. That's just common sense.

[TalaTheGreat]

can't control internet impossible reason hard track someone down how would they know who to charge someone if don't who they are.... pretty much law already...

[TheDrskaner]

i miss the old youtube, the community owned it!!

[TranceManiaification]

no.. NOOO MORE BAD NEWS!! MW3 BANNED PS4 CONFIRMED!!?? ok thats good news XD... BUT YOUTUBE'S GOING OFF???? Nooooooooooooooooooo.. WHYYY??????

[msyi14]

it's the american version of bill 156 of japan and the new zealand copyright bill

[m50mm]

is this smart government or getting stupid... you decide

[TalaTheGreat]

@m50mm get more dumber dumber every day mean end world going end sooon lolz

[celebrityfan1990]

police: you are under arrest!!!!

[IMrTrickShotz]

random: hey what u get in jail for?

cellmate: i raped 3 women and killed 13 families, what did you do?

Random:i uploaded a minecraft lets play on youtube,

cellmate: you crazy motherfucker

[awesome9001]

@IMrTrickShotz nice copy and paste!

[Mypc4you]

@IMrTrickShotz nice you copyed the top comment... faggot

[it8nky0u]

I support this bill entirely and should bring down the hammer on this criminals those dirty fuckers! Thank you Congress!

[justncaze]

@it8nky0u Dude you say that and your the first one who has cod vids! -_-

[15551cue]

the illuminati wants us to buy first and ask questions later lol

[xMrHDGamer]

Your t-shirt is copyright... -_-

[larsineter01]

go watch chrissmoove's vid it is no threat

[TheRealSize]

@TheDivineMirage nothing, i think you're only in trouble if you're the owner of a website or channel, and you are getting profit from the streaming or uploading of vids.

[forsakengamez]

everyone, calm down... for one gamign companies said they would put an extra thing in the terms of service allowing gameplay videos.. also, the bill states that it will only target websites or people that profit from illegal copyright! there is NO need to worry at all

[gamewiz71]

@forsakengamez You definently have a point. on another note, the proposers of the bill said that the bill does noy=t target youtube at all.

[GenShepardIsRetarded]

BUT I NEED MY QUALITY TIME WITH HUTCH D:<

[redclaw83]

boycott youtube if they pass this law cause youtube is going to suck than

[EliteDWB]

420 videos... W00T

[123danyk123]

do it pass or we dont know?

[CocaineDrRockso]

now, they passed this for hollywood for streaming movies on youtube. the video games do not belong to america and they cannot do anything about it. besides, no one would buy games then because they wouldnt get the to see the gameplay.

[TheNick5527]

@CocaineDrRockso You are wrong in almost every aspect of what you just said. The bill is not passed, But the movie industries ARE pushing the bill. Games belong to no one entity. if the bill is passed anyone in America who posts them singing a song, playing a game (gameplay is not copyrighted unless specified, the coding is copyrighted, but gameplay falls under this bill) streaming movies and music would be sent to jail, international videos youtube would take down, YT is based in the US

[forsakengamez]

@TheNick5527 you are wrong... the bill states it only targets websites and people that profit from streaming copyrighted videos. also, game companies have already come forward to say that they would add an extra thing in the terms of service stating that its ok to stream gameplay videos. There is ABSOLUTELY no need to worry

[KingKoopaHD]

I support that Bill

[armyofsporks1]

i bought most of my games after watching them on youtube.

[lakerskid2013]

That would sound really weird to prisoners

[lakerskid2013]

Just pretend for a second that I got put in jail for uploading videos of me playing video games if the bill gets passed:

Me: "What did you two get put in jail for?"

Prisoner 1: "I killed my wife"

Prisoner 2: "I tried running from the cops"

Then say they both ask, "What did you get put in here for?"

Me: "For recording myself playing video games"

Do you kind of see where I'm getting at?

[Kelly14UK]

@lakerskid2013 Yeah and can you imagine a decent guy who's sickened by violence getting put into prison with real scum? Screw the elite.

[lakerskid2013]

They better not pass this bill! I will be so mad!

[superspyro3000]

this bill is an apocalyptic threat to our rights, our economy, our internet, AND EVEN microsoft. the devil is coming to earth in the form of this, and it must be taken back to hell where it belongs!! passing this bill is as bad as burning the bill of rights. imagine the hundreds of trillions of videos on youtube vanishing instantly, with everyone associated with posting copyrighted content going to jail. the US will turn into a giant prison!

[kid3499]

america is getting less free :/

[Troffixer]

I may be in Canada, but we will be affected too, they're taking the "you" out of "youtube." Which is a pile of bullshit, in a matter of time you tube will be called CopyrightTube.

[PixieStixxandAdderal]

Son of a fuck. SON OF A FUCCCCK. America is balls now, and I refuse to let them win. Let's rebel, you guys, let's go shoot people in the face. \o/

[NejiHyuga900]

@zxYx69xYxz - And no more Achievement Hunter or Rooster Teeth. :(

[M3TALG3ARBUNNY]

@NejiHyuga900 rooster teeth will have permission in halo because they are bungie members..... i think



[EliteBoner]

As if Youtube wasn't going down the toilet already.

[GordiePxamps]

Me:Why are u here?

Prisioner:I rape and kill 8 girls,and why are u here?

Me:i uploaded a mw3 video on youtube

[zacharytanzhiyu]

I wouldn't be suprised if Jack Thompson supports this bill.

[XaZeRorAntZer]

Cop comes to my house : * knock on door*

Me: What!?

Cop : What are you doin in there?

Me: Uploading a Cod movie on youtube!

Cop: Holy shit * He talks in radio : NEED BACKUP!!*

[SupaQuestionMark]

Some of you people don't even listen to what he's saying before you leave a comment. They are not going to attack the gaming community directly,nor will they shut down YouTube. They are only going after copyrighted material and if u don't have that in your vids then you have nothing to worry about!

[MattCate10]

@SupaQuestionMark your videos do though....

[xSNiP3RvN3WMaNx]

WOW AMERICA IS FEELING LESS LIKE THE LAND OF THE FREE AND MORE LIKE DO WHAT I SAID MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

[popolynn2]

I hope the bill passes so my father can earn more money, you assholes keep stealing his money and it's about time you payed for all the shit you steal.

[monmas929]

Cop: Do you know what your doing?

Me:yes... speeding

Cop:Why?

Me:I uploaded a gaming video.

Cop:OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! "yells on walkie talkie" I NEED BACKUP!!!!!!!!!!!1

[TheAlchemist7771]

@xchoopaloopax *there's

[TheAlchemist7771]

@xchoopaloopax we still have al-queda and there new leader, the threat of nuclear war, a non exsistent economy, 14.2 trillion dollar debt, and they focus on machinama, hmmm, if this gets passed i think they'res going to be a big riot.

[Aguywhoeatsmusic]

If this stupidity gets passed i will upload sow fucking copyrighted videos

[NejiHyuga900]

@Aguywhoeatsmusic - Sow? Which means "to plant", so you mean that you will upload plant copyrighted videos?

[Aguywhoeatsmusic]

@NejiHyuga900 Im portuguese.. Try to speak it ;)

[CrazyWatoMelonBoy]

They're Are All These Videos With Terrible Stuff We Don't Wanna Discuss About, And They Choose About VIDEO GAMES!?!?

[DEADDOGx4]

So, youtube is gonna l end up like Myspace if this bill DOES get posted

[7878robert]

gunns will go cod on there asses if youtube gets shut down

[FSRExDustboy]

The Government is trying to get rid of us!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZombieBoy2011]

@holyjewel Get a life. I just thought i would have some fun, thats the must thumbs ive got. when did I say "THUMBS UP"?

[ZombieBoy2011]

@holyjewel ?

[XxUnitedAsiansxX]

u want to know the funny thing?

there are very bad videos such as rape, terrorism, decapitation and so on and so forth being posted on the net. Yet no one is doing jack shit about it. Now there are utube videos of gameplay and trailers... about to be banned. sigh. Casey Anthoney gets off free for killing her baby >.> and this is what they do next? They can kiss my ass, ill just put in fake shit and post the game vids from the library.

[vlad007001]

somewhere in the near future 2 prisoniers talking

P1:what are you in for?

P2:raping 3 teen girls

P2:you?

P1:posting a video of BF3 gameplay on youtube

P2:YOU SICK FUCK!You disgust me

[nikoface]

It doesn't effect people outside of the united states

[eshawman]

Why can't the government open their eyes and see that we youtubers are helping the game companies games that we record.... I understand if people are pirating music but this.... Plain stupid

[TheJovanni2020]

@eshawman yeah man i know what you mean and movies to i get that but i mean they can take video game videos off to make it make sense

[eshawman]

@TheJovanni2020 yeah take minecraft for example even notch agrees youtube got it popular

[lemler33]

what about the music from the YouTube audio swop? is that copy righted?

[74ryanwolf]

@lemler33 yes

[lemler33]

@74ryanwolf noooo why U.S. congressm WHY :'(

[NejiHyuga900]

@lemler33 - If YouTube got permission with the audio swap music, then there is no problem using them.

[tailskid101]

if it gets passed then people will begin to talk like this:

come to america its a free country you just cant do any fun shit on the internet

[SoapMactavish141]

What the hell is Bill S.978? :S

[raulserban27]

@SoapMactavish141 its a law in america that if oyu upload some lets play on any video game you will go to jail.God thanks i like in europe

[abram730]

@SoapMactavish141 If you upload a "lets play" video you could go to jail and youtube may be shut down.

[Sadwaffles]

COPYRIGHT YOUR SHOWING TIM HORTONS HA

[Bobklafg1]

@MrRoxasx if you're going to write a useless comment, at least use proper grammar...

[XJVHS]

My channel is all about gaming! If this freaking bill goes through, I'm done!

[XJVHS]

Fuck this damn bill. Why are we gamers always under the magnifying glass? Why is gaming so "bad thing" in the internet?

[Neonray3]

Guys chill it was rejected we saw on the site well my friend did

[DragonBallZFanVideo]

LETS MAKE A MOB AND BURN THE US GOVERNMENT!!!!! waits why the governemnt, it iant htere fault... ITS HOLLYWOODS AND MOVIE CREATORS FAULT!!! ATTACK THEM!! :D, lol, imagine if people accually did that.......

[DUMPGaming]

That means machinma will be closed down

[GamerBoy575]

@DUMPGaming fuck machinima

[IncinerationCinema]

so im really confused, if the gov. wants to make the unemployment rate go down so not as many people and familys are on welfare and have gov. help, then why would they want to unemploy all the people thats main source of income is youtube, which will mean the unemployment rate will go up.. so more people will have to have gov. help, so there would be higher taxes so that the people that do have jobs will have to support those that dont because the bill the gov. passed

[flameshark101]

bad news people.i heard it got passed.ut i dont know for sure

[TheDog7118]

@flameshark101 were did you hear that it got rejact

[KillcamOfTheDaay]

Will this be worldwide?!

[flameshark101]

@KillcamOfTheDaay no. only in america.all cuz hollywoods complaint of people watching videos on youtube istead of paying to watch their movies

[KillcamOfTheDaay]

@flameshark101 So is Canada affected? Thanks dude

[flameshark101]

@KillcamOfTheDaay sort of. cince youtube is an american company other countrys cant post gameplay cuz they will get blamed for what happens

[Person949]

Prisoner 1: what are you in for?

Prisoner 2: I killed 3 people and robbed a bank. How about you?

Prisoner 1: I uploaded a minecraft video to youtube

[NOXsaiv]

wait wait, WHAT ABOUT SANITY NOT INCLUDED!!!! IT ALWAYS SHOW SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT MANY GAMES D: D: D: WTF !! ! ! ! ! !! MACHINIMA WILL DIE!

[MrRoxasx]

so i mean its note my decision..but if it was...ill leve youtube the same...thanks for reading..and guys suscribe to all these great and amazing people.THANK YOU.

[MrRoxasx]

ok 1.the game and the music industries are two of the biggest industries out there...and as i believe youtube gets a good percent of all there views from games and music...so in my opinion if this bill gose through...well...i believe youtube is done.becouse all these people work hard on youtube to bring amazing gameplay and music from big names like machinama...nextgentacticts...­machinima respawn..the syndicate project...all these guys work hard to bring good views and rating to youtube

[MrMattrivera]

Yes, youtube is gone.... its not like im typing a comment or anything :|

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

For cry it out loud, you guys cannot stop a bill by complaining on youtube! They are congressmen! They spend more time trying to get campaigning cash then listen to their voters, let alone reading blogs and video comments! Act in real life, write to your congressmen, talk to your close ones, start protesting and do marches, or just about anything! Only you can do something to stop the bill from passing, and that's only when you stop surfing and start doing real things!

[nensondubois]

Corporations and politicians trying to control and monitor us further. Land of the free? Land of the theocracy bullshit, yes. Not only this, but the US government and corporations are trying to take away other parts of our internet and general privacy and freedoms. They must be stopped at all costs.

[dsdsd4ify]

@nensondubois stfu u stupid hippy

[nensondubois]

@dsdsd4ify u mad?

[PokemonAwesome999]

No, not this again! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUU--

[Dohman13]

the game developers should like these videos on youtube, you get free publicity, its not like a movie where you can say ''why pay for it when its free here'' because you cant play the game on youtube.

[kill4kill2kil]

i hope that all or atleast most of the game makers will allow their content to be used

(when the bill passes)

[WhyDetox]

Watch out. Your Monitor says hp on it! That is copyrighted. You could go to jail.

[nvoltis]

Guy 1:I got caught dealing drugs and alchahol,what are you in here for?

Guy 2:I posted a Viva Pinata Commentary... -____-

[mechamind90]

@zapfuse131 All that GovTrack says as of my comment is that the bill was introduced on May 12, and acknowledged as a bill on June 16. There is no information about a senate vote, house vote, or presidential decision. There are three barriers the bill can pass. Let's hope it fails the first one.

[OMGzusJordan]

This bill deleted my youtube account. Not happy.

[KasBroadcast]

Hm, im just wondering, but didn't treyarch in one of it's trailers for black ops mention that they added theater mode TO HELP MAKE MACHINIMA'S? Ironic eh?

[JAWPSTAR]

yeah ah reclame

[jameshalomaster]

congress has a right for music and movies but come on YouTube and the beautiful industry of gaming stop this stuff. POWER TO THE PEOPLE URA!

[Cvej4]

i could care less about youtube getting closed down cuz people will just makeup another one, plus it was getting ugly-er

[pumasfan247]

[AndrewMacedonia]

youtube is becoming a nazi state

[WTDHproductions]

FUCK DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST PRICKS...this is just another step towards socialist communism. THIS IS CENSORSHIP which is unconstitutional bullshit. WE ARE GOING TO TURN INTO CHINA OR CUBA WITH THIS BULLSHIT CENSORING. this is what happens when you have a bullshit democratic pro socialist president like barack. in order to start a new government you must destroy the old one. PRAY THE REPUBLICANS SAVE US, dumbass liberal shits

[NintendoVeteran85]

@WTDHproductions I agree with you.

[EnigmaXx730]

@WTDHproductions You have no idea what you are talking about. This bill is not created to censor anything. It was created punish people for COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. It just so happens that gaming videos fall under the category of copyright infringement. Why on earth would you support piracy? Their mission is just, but their methods are not. The goal is to add stipulations to that bill not get rid of it all together.

[Timah528]

end of youtube sry but gaming isnt all of youtube

[sultankraver]

@Timah528

actually the number 1 channel is a gaming channel so maybe it's 50% of youtube

[Timah528]

@sultankraver the number one channel is raywilliamjohnson thats not gaming

[EnigmaXx730]

@Timah528 This goes for music and covers to, which is a vast majority of YouTube.

[NGTPh33R]

i thought this fir americans only not us canadians

[lolwtf32]

This is a good way for them to lose money because less people will purchase games if there is no gameplay videos on youtube of it.. i never buy a game unless i watch a few reviews of it and gameplay vids.

[ThePoisonIvy75]

If this happens, I basically just lost my other account :\

[instuhkilluh]

i have copyright in my video, but i dunno how to get rid of the copyright ):

[darkblood626]

It only affects you if you make money form the copyrighted content you post.

The 3 strikes rule is BS because all they have to do is accuse you even if it is not proven you get a strike.
