Do you think The Anti-Streaming Bill will pass?

[Staples]

But Dawnseeker :'(

[Skirata]

Anyway we can get the exemption for all political threads?

[Staples]

No. I will not allow it.

JDM and Skirata - why haven't you reported Revo for having a political signature? it's almost as though you sanction rules being bent for your friends. I haz a disappoint.

The fact of the matter is that this bill is no different from any other copyright laws currently in place, with possible exception to the jailing after 10 offenses. I saw earlier that someone said about playing music etc in a public forum. . . that is presently illegal as well without a specific license enabling it. This bill is interesting, to me, because it changes nothing and yet is getting a lot of attention. I suppose it is just because people don't understand copyright laws, and this is an awakening.

Google can do anything.

Тишина, российские собаки!

Thank you, that is all.

On topic, however, this bill is a bit different than other bills like it. Currently, there is a Free Usage term that allows people like LPers, commentators and reviewers to, with proper recognition, use videogame footage.

This bill, however, says that ANY streaming of ANY copywritten subject is subject to fine and detainment. If the government will enforce it(look at music pirates for answer) is another story.
