What the hell is wrong with your government, America? Continuous laws and prohibitions intellectual property!
P.S. I am living on the territory of former USSR, the percentage of piracy in which was more than 90%(by now it could rich 60-70), maybe that's the reason?
if it happens it would be the end of YouTube for me unfortunately since the only reason i became a member was to upload older system speed-runs that I've completed i don't see the point in doing this since we don't take credit for anything and in my case i even give away free advertisement by making sure the links to the company s site and where to buy the game is in the description of each video so i think this is a very bad move and YouTube would lose many members
@julienmauricemort yeah! in fact, as this guy here mentions in his video, that people like us who post lp's of video games, we are actually helping the video game industry actually get more money.
Less government spending, less taxation to American Citizens, a budget plan that works.
This man has been fighting for your personal freedom and the separation of congress from big business for years. He stands against draconian bills like SOPA, NDAA and the Patriot Act.
He has fought against the war on drugs, the foreign wars, and corporate bail outs.
God fucking damn it WHY THE FUCK WOULD THE GOVERNMENT DO THIS!!! Fuck this shit! I will kill myself if this happens! I will not hesitate to do it!!! This is fucking BALLS!!!
If this passes, the internet will be destroyed. Funny the only thing Congress can agree on is things for big companies. Yet they just can't agree on problems like the debt, and the recession. Seems all they care is getting money for themselves, and care for no one else who suffers in process.
They don't care if video game material is being censored, because this is not about copyright, its about government controlled censorship of the internet. They have the FULL power to remove any website that ANY user has uploaded copyrighted material onto. That means any website could be taken down due to one random person uploading a song to it. The government will pick and choose which sites are removed, and effectively censor the American internet to their own desire. Home of the free, right?
@Phillegoboy12345 Youtube is an american owned company, therefore is effected by this bill. so no matter where you are in the world you wont be able to upload video game footage to youtube...
Sure, protect movies from being illegally distributed. That's fine.
But, making video game streams and let's plays a felony?
Stupidity has gone to a new low, 'cause last time I checked, there is a gaming section to Youtube. Practically half, if not more, viewers are directed here. Now imagine that gone in a blink of an eye. YouTube ain't gonna make much more money if that happens, and we aren't gonna be much happier anyways. And any other website connected to Youtube would be devastated.
But here is a question. So if this Bill will succeed. How would it affect non-americans. Are we committing a felony becuase we are posting lets-plays on an american site?
Im not sure if I understand how for example the whole of european uploaders would be called criminals by the american law. For americans to upload they would commit a felony. SeaNanners would commit a felony but Tejbz would not?
These goverment bigwigs need to remember that the only reason they're higher up is because they only serve as a voice of people with the same ideas. Now they think of make decisions FOR the people. And that's when you get retarded laws like these...
Basicly, NOBODY would want this rule because it's a big blockage in freedom of speech.
For those who dont live in the US and think it wont affect them. Well Youtube is an US company so because the US want a bad rule then the whole world would have to bend to them. Let's just make pizza a vegetable for the entire world.
The bill is influenced by people who have a problem with the way things are, not the ones who enjoy the freedom of information the internet has provided.
that doesnt make sense, if someone plays a game, theyll get sponsored by the game developers advertising it making the developers more money, how could that be a felony its a circle, plus how are America going to arrest people doing it in England
Fuck the trillions of dollars in debt we have, the economy in a recession, and 9% unemployment, we have to make sure people aren't watching family guy on the internet. lol government priorities.
This purpose of this bill is reasonable and necessary to protect the rights of the media industry, however you cannot infringe on the rights of certain industries and consumers to protect others. An addition without reprecussions could be as simple as adding a statement such as "Any individual legal owner posseses the right by law to allow their individual how does this sound... legal?
@Toastwilleatyou Everything is always kept in consideration, even after a veto or majority decline. Many of our US laws were denied the first couple passes, only to be passed a generation or so later. Mark my words, American censorship will happen soon. And there's little to nothing we can do about it. Not while greedy corporations own the bank accounts of the house senate.
People can't be this dumb. Read the bill. This has nothing to do with fair use (journalistic and educational purposes), this is simply expanding on the laws we already have in place for copyrighted works and is defining it for the digital age. It has nothing whatsoever to do with fair use, parody or even Machinima. Be smarter. And if you are stealing and pirating, enjoy your fines and jail time. :D
@MYUproductions THAT is the main problem about this bill, it DOESN'T say anything about it. That is VERY BAD when you talk about laws cause this means it's up to the judge which means you can take someone to court for something that is completely okay and thus completely either force this person to stop doing his fair stuff or to let him go to court and get RAPED by big corps lawyers. Interpretation is very dangerous in laws, and it will be abused by copyright firms within the fucking week
@MYUproductions Well as i was watching your profile i just happened to see that you have several X-men episodes as favorites. Isn't that some way of stealing and pirating? I will quote you 'enjoy your fines and jail time. :D'
If the stupid bastard made worth buying things (Movies.games, music) maybe people would buy it and not steal it who wants to pay loads of money for crappy ass shit and when you get the games you gotta download more shit to fix the shit you brought.Fuck that!!
Completely retarded I agree. But, wouldn't a video game company be able to say " We allow our content to be used in youtube videos in any manner by anyone" Or something a long the lines of that? Wouldn't it be exactly the same as allowing an individual player to do so?
check out the house version, there's a section banning people who pirate software from killing people (page 62). Im not so sure what that has to do with stoping piracy, to be honest.

FUCK THIS STUPID BILL. Without viral gaming videos like this, not only Youtube, but the whole gaming industry is FUCKED. Can you imagine Starcraft 2 without Husky? EXACTLY.
@Thodstan Thanks for the answer. What I don't understand is if I upload videos of gameplay, will they be removed and an interpol warrant taken out on me?
IMO it's stupid to make a national law for an international thing (not that law should be made international, not at all)
@nejckra yes, they will be removed for you. youtube is a company stationed in america and if you upload a video from say sweden, it will get taken down, you will not be fined i don't believe, but you cannot post the video.
No-one in their right mind would stop people psting videos of their games because it is a massive free form of advertising, look at every top viewed video of the day on youtube at least ove of the top 8 will be from machinima, that kind of publicity would cost millions to advertise anywhere else
the rich run this country : / really, dose our media need more power and money then they already have. First it starts off this way if the bill is passed 'seems' harmless enough, what next will we have to give away? this will kill half the internet, Most musical artists and culture I have learned about was from uploading to the internet, soon we will have to pay just to browse the web, or they might filter google like they do in china. Our news would already be more censored and controlled.
This bill doesn't change copyright law. It's aimed at people who are making a "financial gain." No one's going to pursue your downloaded videos as long as you are not profiting from them.
yeah, I did. The only thing the Bill technically does is increase the penalty for streaming copyrighted material for financial gain. However, my interpretation, or anyone else who is not a legal expert is inconsequential. Everytime I see a quote from an attorney, its almost always the same (i.e. some people have incredibly overblown the effects of this bill, and that this bill changes nothing).
You really think video game companies have a problem with "let's plays?" Does a "let's play" increase or decrease a person's desire to purchase the game? Well, unless the game is garbage (which you can pre-discover now anyway), I would say its a boost to video game sales.
@ChomskyandCheetos It is not the game companies that make laws, it is the goverment, in case you didn't know, if it helps the companies or if it makes the situation worse (wich it does not) doesn't really matter, when you add to the facts that the people currently running society and writing laws clearly don't know the legal differences involved between a Star Trek Episode and a Minecraft video.
Obviously companies don't delegate international copyright law. However, they are almost solely the one's that choose to file suit, and who to file against. Once again, does no one care what experts in copyright law have to say about the bill? My opinions are formed from experts in the field.
"The bill is meant to target streaming video (it's called the Commercial Felony Streaming Act) of copyrighted material (like TV shows and sporting events) for financial gain. The bill does not criminalize uploading videos to YouTube or streaming videos at home."

Has anyone contacted Machinima about this? They have the potential to tell a wide range of people quickly.

the rich run this country : / really, dose our media need more power and money then they already have. First it starts off this way if the bill is passed 'seems' harmless enough, what next will we have to give away? this will kill half the internet, Most musical artists and culture I have learned about was from uploading to the internet, soon we will have to pay just to browse the web, or they might filter google like they do in china. Our news would already be more censored and controlled.

This bill doesn't change copyright law. It's aimed at people who are making a "financial gain." No one's going to pursue your downloaded videos as long as you are not profiting from them.

@ChomskyandCheetos Wrong, it is not only commercial, it is simple distribution.

That's not my opinion, that's the opinion of Terry Hart, copyright attorney. I'll trust the opinion of an expert in copyright law.

@ChomskyandCheetos Did you actually read the bill?
danielkronos 4 months ago
@danielkronos
yeah, I did. The only thing the Bill technically does is increase the penalty for streaming copyrighted material for financial gain. However, my interpretation, or anyone else who is not a legal expert is inconsequential. Everytime I see a quote from an attorney, its almost always the same (i.e. some people have incredibly overblown the effects of this bill, and that this bill changes nothing).

You really think video game companies have a problem with "let's plays?" Does a "let's play" increase or decrease a person's desire to purchase the game? Well, unless the game is garbage (which you can pre-discover now anyway), I would say its a boost to video game sales.

@ChomskyandCheetos It is not the game companies that make laws, it is the goverment, in case you didn't know, if it helps the companies or if it makes the situation worse (wich it does not) doesn't really matter, when you add to the facts that the people currently running society and writing laws clearly don't know the legal differences involved between a Star Trek Episode and a Minecraft video.

Obviously companies don't delegate international copyright law. However, they are almost solely the one's that choose to file suit, and who to file against. Once again, does no one care what experts in copyright law have to say about the bill? My opinions are formed from experts in the field.

"The bill is meant to target streaming video (it's called the Commercial Felony Streaming Act) of copyrighted material (like TV shows and sporting events) for financial gain. The bill does not criminalize uploading videos to YouTube or streaming videos at home."
