Bill S.978 Getting Rid of Video game content Videos
« on: July 04, 2011, 06:01:45 AM »
Well since I'm just a kid and can't explain things very well to normal human beings just watch this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7-vSrp6y8

This Bill basically states that any video game shown on the Internet like Youtube. Would be illegal and be put in jail for 5 years or large sums of money. Yeah I know you don't understand so just watch these. That means basically all Aceshigh Videos would be torn down unless I contacted Hitech and got a document stating I could post AH videos on the internet. Same thing for any other Game Company's video games.

 What the bill Meanshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7-vSrp6y8

Another Video more descriptive of what it means.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hytigOSjJxc

The Billhttp://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s112-978

Act now against this Billhttp://act.demandprogress.org/letter/ten_strikes?akid=700.450896.5hVZPC&rd=1&t=1

Side Note:Thousands of Dollars if not millions are raised for charity by just doing COD or minecraft livestreams on youtube. Just imagine how much money will be taken away from charity communities

it would be a very simple fix really, for HTC, if they wanted to allow Aces High Player made videos to be posted on YouTube


just make a boiler plate document that the masses could download or have it automatically mailed to each of our accounts email address........ that is if this stuff ever comes to pass but I doubt it will

Just looks like it extends existing copyright infringement criminal codes to online content and not just physical things such as "phonographic records."

I see nothing in that bill that would punish fair use on sites like Youtube.  Section 506 of Title 17 specifically defines criminal activity as copyright infringement meant to generate profit (i.e. making pirate copies of CDs and selling them as "originals") or meant to financially hurt the copyright holder (i.e. making a bunch of CDs and distributing them for free in order to cause a competitor to lose sales).

All the bill does is extend those protections to online content rather than physical media.  Think targeting BitTorrent rather than Youtube.  I didn't see anywhere in the bill where people would have to receive "written permission" to use footage for noncommercial use; that feels like it's made up unless I missed something.
