However, the bill is stating that the federal court can arrest people without charges being pressed by the company. That's what the big deal is about. It's about the federal government arresting people for something the individual companies really don't give two shits about.
And where's the guarantee that even the federal government care enough to chase up the most egregious examples?
I fuckin' love LPs, but amusingly, all I can think of is this getting rid of the shitty Youtube Camcorder LPs. Which would improve the state of the Internet by measures. Though, it's good that you recognise/accept that LPs and the like are already illegal; I'm getting a lot of noise of people complaining that their rights are being impinged by this but... they never really had any rights in the first place.
The fact of the matter is that they have the power to do so after this bill passes, and they will sure enforce and exorcise it to make people think twice about posting up this material on Youtube.
LP's and streams are practically free advertisement, I can understand if entire websites like are devoted to posting entire episodes of copyrighted material, becuase that is just wrong. They need to reword this bill. Gaming isn't even the main focus, it's the side effect.
P.S. They might as well name the the "Youtube killer" because crap like this is practically what it thrives off of.
