  • ign.com has to be one of the worst game sites ive ever seen

  • It seems that Amy Hoebuchar wants us all in jail just for reviewing games, making game walkthroughs and let's plays

  • It didn;t pass, but it evolve into the SOPA bill

  • Lets just boycott youtube?

  • if this is passed we will burn the coungress house down to the ground!!

  • thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery­/z?d112:SN00978:@@@R <- copy and paste into your URL, this is the current status of this bill and all of the major doing about this bill, this bill was introduced 5/12/2011 and has only recieved 2 cosponsors, this bill is real, however if no more then 3 people in the government is supporting it, it is getting no where. If this bill does pass (i'm not saying i will do it) but the 3 sponsors on this list will more then likely have many death threats

  • I don't like this at all. I'll have to close my channel.

  • Are copyright violation for review purposes actually banned in this bill? As it a brit I dont know much about your copyright laws but in the UK you cant include any copyright material unless its for artistic reasons or for review purposes.

  • Has this been passed

  • this law is fucking insane, why the hell would they do this?

    I love Spoony and Angry Joe!

    I don't wanna live on this planet anymore! >_<

  • I still go to achievmenthunter :D

  • @G0dlyGam3rs They could very well be smacked in to prison (all and every one of them) because of they uploaded footage of many video game material. This would mean no more Fails of the Weak, Rage Quit, Achievement Horse and so on. This doesn't mean their excluded from the list as anybody else is that does nearly the same thing.

  • Obviously, the people who upload brand new movies and video-game downloads should get in trouble (I'm guilty), but if they upload something really old, like a SNES emulator or a really obscure movie than who cares?

  • @KedViper Btw, if this bill actually got passed, I believe most (or a lot of) game companies would do something where they allow everyone to post gameplay videos.

  • ALSO

    you are complaining about people uploading music and shit and you say they are stupid but they´re not getting any money out of it,you do therefore you are actually the bigger enemy because you are making money off of their potential money and I know fair use (which it most of the time not even is) and stuff alike but just blandly thinking about it you guys are the real assholes - i personally think the industry should stfu because piracy iz adds and good stuff will be bought

  • why do it if it won´t get compensated? well in terms of kids it might be just the attention they get but I remember those good old times in dark networks where you upped just for the community and to give something back to them - i usually like you but that question seemed rather fn stupid and kinda assy to me.. (ofcourse people from those good old times wouldn´t upload the movies to youtube because they haz brains but i needed to make a point)

  • Hold on DIden`t we Buy,Download,Install Video Games??? So they need to remove that part! Other then that I`ll support the Bill if They allow video games to be recorded...

  • no i like machinama sly ssohpkc nova kootra junkyard gassy the creatures evreyone

  • this has got to be the most retarded shit i have ever heard glad its not getting passed

  • Blockbuster!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha jk this bill is gay

  • We'd have to say goodbye to Classic Game Room....

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  • Plus you good also say goodbye to Jon Paula, Riley Mcallwain, Angry Video Game Nerd, lordvega. COME ON YOUTUBE! DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN!

  • @bigbossx96 tv, movies, music videos, etc are already illegal to upload.

  • when will this happen?

  • THUMPS UP on the death of YouTube gaming community if this S.978 bill is passed.

  • I'm quite sure that this bill 'outlaws' clips without commentary. Reviews, let's plays and commentaries would still be allowed.

    I might be wrong but I remember hearing that.

  • This bill has pretty much been drownded in all the debt talks and stuff. I doubt this is gonna pass

  • Welcome to the Peoples Republic of America

  • Comment removed

  • this bill is fucking retarded, 

  • to be honest ign reviews r never true

  • The game companies are just fucking themselves, WHY WOULD THEY TAKE EVERYTHING AWAY FROM US AND EXPECT US TO GO BACK TO THEIR DUMB ASS WEBSITES!!!!!! If we were smart we would not go to their websites! Shure we may not get the review we want but in time they will realize the money slipping away and how they fucked themselves severely! Then hopefully they will put videos back online! IF THE LAW PASSES, DO NOT GO TO ANY VIDEO GAME WEBSITE ANYONE!!! ITS A HARD CHOICE BUT IT WILL DO DIFFERENCE!!!!!!

  • go to demand progress.com and sign the letter to stop this bill. i urge you all to do this.

  • Whole game industry gets buttfucked if anything like that happens.

  • hmm a bill you say well then you got a few congress members we.. got all GAMERS OF THE WORLD

  • me: so why are you guys in jail?

    inmate no.1: i killed my wife.

    inmate no.2: identity theft.

    me: i uploaded a lets play super mario sunshine.

  • @drpeppermanguy you: violent shower rape.....

    i hate this bill D:

  • @drpeppermanguy inmate no1 is orange juice simpson

  • like i care

  • This guy sounds like CM Punk which makes this win.

  • bad bills = Civil disobedience

    Post your game videos abroad. Far away from USA laws. There is a whole world out there.

  • wow i didnt hear about this till now and was wanting to start a game review and gameplay channel on youtube but now i might not be able to this also is the dumbest thing ever i understand for movies and music but with gameplay videos your not actually playing the game just watching so it doesnt make sense

  • @UBEDAMAN3 I didn't hear about it until a few days ago and I agree with you about it being the dumbest thing ever. I understand about movies and music too. Around 1/4 of my nearly 1,200 videos are of me(and sometimes my brother) playing video games. I also have some videos of me singing too and it would take an insane amount of work for me to go through all of those videos and either delete them or set them to private. I am a big fan in video games and this bill if passed would take away fun.

  • Okay FUCKUH YOU IGN FUUUUUUCKKKK UUUUUU

  • Ign reviews suck anyways hell I only went on that site just for Jessica chobot now that she's gone fuck ign

  • man fuck this bill im canadian but i love rooster teeth and machinima and stuff and for those channels and videos to go down, would be heart breaking that would be taking like half of the youtube community off the internet! thumbs up if you think this bill is shit in a box

  • Also, myself and others like to watch gameplay videos of games on Youtube to see how the game performs on the hardware before we purchase the hardware.

  • I think it is a very bad idea about the gameplay video part. Uploading gameplay videos gives the game free publicity, especially for not so popular games and indie games. Many people find it fun to share videos of the games they play with the world, doesn't mean they are stealing content. If i purchase a game with my hard earned money, I should be allowed to record a video of me playing and share it with the world. I love my country, but starting to hate the direction its taking.

  • everyone that thinks this bill shouldn't pass clearly don't understand how copyright works and are killing this country. This bill needs to pass in order to save our economy and the floundering companies that make these games!

  • accually ide like to look at old movies like that rise of the planet apes from the 1970s so i do not agree with this bill at all specially the video games, you cannot buy the 1970s one thats why i need to find it on the internet, the new one im going to see in the theators (idk how to spell good)

  • Almost every time i watch these vids there's an ad. America really doesn't want me watching these

  • Great video, but you CAN review games without video footage, just show a screenshot or something of the game, or the boxart and talk about it, this way you still win

  • so you cant post a video on anything from glitches to showing what a game is about without permission thats stupid now does that mean g4 is going to be shut down well probly not bc some of thoose types of place gets paid for good reviews

  • bill s 987 is fake.

  • @solidvipersnake thats cus it dont exist yet xD why are you typing about some random bill on this bill?

  • @nuttyriversRules i ment bill s 978

  • *many*

  • If things look like theyll take a turn for the worse. We should make as amny game play videos as possible just cuz we still can

  • I clicked on the link, but obviously and unfortunalely since I'm from the UK I can't oppose the bill.

  • @RPKGameVids that must suck lol, if it gets passed then it could remove things on youtube that you might have watched, so it effects you even if your not here. :/

  • I want to take a shit on the bill, then after take a piss on it, then throw up on it, then they can pass it

  • SAVE MACHINIMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • Bill S.978 is from Satan!

    This is a HELL BILL!!

    Vote this comments thumbs up if you people agree by this!

    >=O

  • I hope this bill passes

  • @DsB97channel go into space.

  • @juliee77lee You first

  • I support this message and if this bill passes me and all my friends will jump off a building

  • I don't give a fuck if I brake the damn law i'll fo wat I want to do

  • Me:What Did You Do

    Convict: I Killed My Wife,And My 2 Sons And Raped My Neighbor

    What Did You Do ?

    Me: I Uploaded A Video Of Call Of Duty : (

    Convict: You Sick Bastard!

  • the door close but is hallways holes in the wolds

  • I vote In favor of the people that HAcked PS3 network Destroy IGN's site

  • IGN did horrible reviews in my opinion. I don't completely agree with this bill BUT there is one thing people don't realize... or should I say the big gaming companies... complete walkthroughs for NEW GAMES should not be allowed. Why? I watch the game and don't buy it... this is usually if the game is single player. But hey, free walkthrough, why should I play it over? Some people will still buy it but once they understand, is it worth it to buy? No, and it can depend.

  • @ZaCkOX900 hold on are you saying that WATCHING a game and PLAYING a game are the same thing?

  • @111random They are if you can't do anything different. If the story only goes one way, I know some people will not buy the game BECAUSE what else can you do? You already watched the game. If you don't agree, fine but think about it, honestly think about it... if you have any common sense you'll see it the same way.

  • they can´t ban porn, but can ban games

  • Everyone should continue to upload videos and I mean everyone who already does, even ppl who normally don't the can't arrest millions of gamers

  • @patrickcorey2010 they acctualy can

  • this is BS... 

  • Yep! Blanket policy to effect everyone and creativity! Don't you guys know your loving government by now. Fascism IS when Government is in bed with CORPORATIONS! WE HAVE THE POWER! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

  • the problem with turning to people like ign or gamespot is the partnerships they have with the develepers therefore giving false reviews as in lying about how the game is better than it really is

  • THIS BILL WILL MAKE ME COMMIT SUICIDE

  • @XDGAMER21 Dude, there are not enough thumbs in the world for that.

  • No, this bill will not do this. It does not apply to video games specifically. The owner of the computer the stream is directly being streamed from will be responsible, in this case YouTube. The exact same fair use law still applies to all copyrighted works - the right to use a needed amount of a work for its criticism, education or parody. Stop believing everything you tell each other.

  • @RabdonFilms yeah and that means Youtube will put a strike on your account bc they dont wanna be held responsible

  • @towdow3 You can never be held responsible for uploading infringing content to a server you don't own. YouTube has had the three strikes for a long time.

  • Most bands don't mind people uploading their music on youtube. The music industry deserves to suffer

  • @XxTilt0nxX lol

  • @brightfamia LOL YOU STUPID BITCH! YOU BLOCKED ME CUZ YOUR A SCARED PUSSY!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR A PUSSY

  • @TheFritzMaster lol?

  • the us government is corrupt as yemen except congress are benine dictators who give a false image of democracy and they have such a powerful lobby that they stay in office for a looooooooooong time, they suck up the money from people the richer get richer and the poorer get poorer and because of the us government we have our economic crises

  • why wont ppl protest for the video games

    

  • 14 people are money loving senators

  • censorship for money.. FOR FUKS SAKE USA THIS IS FREE FUKING ADVERTISING AND ITS NOT YOUR FUKING COMPANY WHO FUKING MAKES THE FUKING GAME

  • 13 in favor / 1279 opposed on the link, lol!

  • they will never stop us.

    we are unstoppable.

    we are all 1.

    WE ARE GAMERS

    -hdgaming98

  • look up fair use everyone.

  • No more machinima? *throws computer across room*

  • I just found out that this bill was created by the democrats.

  • If this passes, we can also kiss Classic Game Room goodbye. I never thought I would see the day.

  • Oh please. These people don't need more money!

  • 01000010 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01010011 00101110 00111001 00110111 00111000 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01010011 01010100 01010101 01010000 01001001 01000100 00100001 decode this!

  • @xXeliteHerox2341

    I should tell you mate

    It ha been confirmed that this ill will not effect video game uploads

    Bill S.978 is simply an extension on a already made law so in theory, everyone is make a huge riot over nothing.

  • If you're worried watch this to calm you! /watch?v=x11s8trkFzM

  • the bill is bullcrap and it's stupid

  • so casey anthony can kill her daughter but i cant upload a game review!!!???

  • @navi1007 YOU ARE EXTREMELY RIGHT ABOUT THAT

  • @navi1007

    Right, What the fuck these assholes.

  • @mmffl123456 yea the government sucks just because she spends some time in jail everyone thinks she is innocent screw the government!

  • @navi1007 You can upload a game review and get off free if there is no evidence for an actual criminal case.

    In other words, you can upload a game review, if you didn't do it.

    Casey isn't able to be proved for murder, for 1. Well, no evidence, no trial can be used to convict her, especially because they tried to throw everything at her 2. There just isn't enough proof, or reason to really convict her. Motive, is a key problem with the case for her.

  • @navi1007 Ikr!

  • @navi1007 welcome to america :(

  • @CallOfDutyWithaHalo They say its free but it's really f*cking a prison

  • @navi1007 best.comment.ever

  • @TheDRAQify thanks

  • @ShatterState I haven't been brought video games too many nowdays.

  • This S.978 bill is by Amy Klobuchar (MN), John Cornyn(TX) and Christopher Coons(DE). Vote them out all!

  • I meant does it apply to old games?

  • surely youtube aka google should step in,they have more financial clout than any one.at the end of the day its in their interest,they just need a to be shown how much they are going to be affected by this.saying that there probably already on the case!

  • and yet another example on "How to promote illegal copies" before buying games I ALWAYS check utube to get private ppl's impressions not those faked IGN bull crap. I want serious opinions. EPIC PHAIL again.

  • Don't forget Canadians, mexicans, south americans, europeans, africans and asians. They will be able to review the games although USA is obviously the "biggest" country in europe.

  • does this apply to only new games?

  • this is just a no brainer. if i was in the us id download the full games again to test it before i buy it since the most games have no demos anymore and gaming magazines with cd or dvd are dead.

    so this forces me to get into the illegal sharing again where im forced to share with ppl who just dont want to pay even if they like the game.

  • I never even watch IGN anyways lol

    Video games companies are going to take a financial hurt if this bill goes up.

  • Counts this bill for the whole world ??

  • @jens2170 OFCOURSE NOT LOL !!! It's only America. 

  • @koosjuh75

    There's something called...Contagion. It is possible that these idealists will have influence towards other countries and thus will have an overzealous effect. Better think of these possibilities rather than be poised about it.

  • @Xport9 Of course that is a possibility. But he asked Does this bill count for the whole world? And than the answer still is OFCOURSE NOT! Considering a U.S Bill has no effect in Europe (law wise). And if you mean Contagion, the effect that there will a lot of european reviewers now? OR that the American public will tend to asian, european video websites that do allow Gameplay footage. Or you mean that Europe will copy this bill?

  • @koosjuh75

    In theory, yes. Other nations may appeal to the bill as well when they deemed necessary.

  • @Xport9 Well certainly I hope not. On the other hand this may cause revenue income for other websites that are like youtube but are from another nation. I assume the bill is for youtube because they adhire to U.S Laws but for another website which server is located in europe or asia which is thus bound by different laws. Would U.S citizens be able to upload there movies to this website?

  • @koosjuh75

    I'm positive that you are still restricted from uploading anything from other website(s) regardless what service provider it is from; because you are still breaking the amendment. Not to mention, it is still a copyright property. Judging from this Bill, they are pretty serious about putting every illegal issues in place.

    Think of politics this way: A trend. If it works. Hell. Why not use it?

    Which is a possibility because this is what this world is all about. Just borrowed ideas.

  • @jens2170 Yeah man, the US is putting forth a bill for the entire world.

  • @QwoPhasaArius Not really this only affects US, but in someways it also affects everyone around the world, for example im from the UK i use Youtube as my streaming service to upload my gaming commentaries so i can earn money, but Youtube follows US Laws, which means they are going to follow this Bill. If theres a site that hosts streamed videos in another country and which follows there law there wouldnt be a problem. - Idiot Governments they can never get anything right.

  • @AshadurFilms By God, if you couldn't sense that was sarcasm....

  • @QwoPhasaArius Nope.

  • Oh shit, this means I may only get to do reviews in the summer when I'm in Mexico

  • this is bullshit. We need a solution cause otherwise the whole YT gaming community will fall and that sucks. Even then...is this only for US people?? I mean the bill affects worldwide?

  • Casey Anthony can murder her 2 year old daughter and get away with it, but if this bill is passed we could possibly spend 2 more years in prison than she ever did for uploading some measly video game footage? SMH

  • just wondering, are there any americans actually hate this idea which is from america too? i do know lots of other countries hate this guy

  • Comment removed

  • EVERYONE CALM THE FUCK DOWN!!!!!! THIS BILL IS NOT REAL!!!!!! IT'S A FAKE!!! !A PHONY!!!!!! A PRANK!!!!!!! WE'VE BEEN FREAKING OUT ABOUT NOTHING THE ENTIRE TIME!!!!!!!!! THUMBS THIS UP SO EVERYONE KNOWS!!!!!!

  • @24komodo Its real.

  • @24komodo Its real dickwad

  • @KoolKidKarl2k8 read my response to 661nitro. VVV

  • I really don't think this bill will get passed. It's fucking retarded. And how do they expect to enforce this bullshit? It's going to bring down one of the only parts of the US economy that's actually DOING GOOD.

  • This bill is absurd. It is just fucked up and unfair. 5 yrs. in jail? wtf is this shit? This is not good for people who have such good ideas or who want to succeed by giving reviews about video games. I really don't think this dam bill should be passed. It is not necessary. Fucking dumb ass congressman/ politicians are such assholes. We need to fight for this bill NOT to be passed.

  • I know that if this passes gamespot, IGN, and gametrailer will become a dead black hole. Any self respecting gamer will not go to their site and their ploy, yes I to do believe it is their doing, will backfire. Then they will be going to the losers and begging them to alter the bill. But it will be already too late.

  • how will the enforce that potential law? will Youtube start handing over everyone's info the feds for prosecution? If that is the case, good bye Youtube. You can't stop technology. The music industry did this same thing with napster years ago, and it still hasn't stopped anything. People will just migrate to something else or somewhere else.

  • Of the bills do pass all of us game commentators should make vids telling our subs to not vist other ign ect gp companies

  • You got to see this video about the TRUTH of this bill

    /watch?v=g5-4LN5MTyA

  • I hate this S.978 bill because this bill will destroy Let's plays,and Youtube reviewers . I oppose the bill 100%.

  • Congress could just go to hell for all I care. If I go out and bought a game I thought was good cuz of critic reviews and it flat out sucks (FF13 for example) instead, then I can't tell the world about why it sucks let alone even making a video showing proof of it? FU Congress for making the world a stupier place to live.

  • @confarto2 Hey! It's a insult towards idiots to call the government idiots. We have nothing to do with the government. That is all.

  • And now we face our biggest idiots of our times.... our own government....

  • Did anyone tell AVGN?

  • you can STILL talk about games,but you cant show NOTHING about them.

  • sadly these days that sites the only times I have gone to IGN is for upcomming games and my god the selection is rather limited however. At least Arkham city will be out along with saints row 3 and prototype 2

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU WANT THE BILL TO PASS!

    *gets 0 thumbs up*

    THUMBS UP IF YOU WANT THE BILL TO PASS SO WE CAN RIOT THE GOVERMENT!!!

    *gets over 1000 thumbs up*

  • @palindinX i can make a molitav or however you spell  it

  • something just cross my mine...isnt this a violation of the 1st amendment? (weird and stupid question to ask...just wondering)
