Bill S.978.

[GrooveMan.exe]

This basically takes away peoples right to do things though. Why would you want a law that basically prohibits "normies" from posting video game footage. Becuase you don't like them and you would take that right away from all americans? Bullshit. This is exorcising communism. It's a little offensive that you are actually in favor of a bill that limits rights. What the crap is that.

P.S. No beef.

You seem to be missing the point where they never had that right in the first place. They were already breaking copyright laws. The footage they're uploading was never 'theirs'. Purchasing a game gives you the right for the purachaser to play said game and not much else. In theory the average use of most games would be breaking some kind of ToS, but the fact of the matter is that for the most part, the companies didn't act on it. It wasn't worth spending the resources to chase down shitty camcoder LPs.

What's changed now is that apparently the US government has the ability to chase down shitty camcorder LPs. But that's still going to cost time and money, something that they might not be so willing to spend, when the previous status quo was to leave most of it be, with the most flaunted examples excepting.

My more positive take on it is that with the US internetnet users somewhat more aware that LPs would be breaking the law, they either take greater steps in protecting what they're doing, or stop. And judging by the average quality of content; that's p. sweet.

I will admit that with the US not being the center of my universe, I am less 'moved' as it were by what this might do to my internet use, but all this cry about a 'loss of freedom' that wasn't actually even there is laughable.

Edit: I think this is the 3rd time I've said this. Deja Vu.
