Bill S.978: The End of Let's Plays and Gaming...

[quote=Lazukin]I'm in the US and my care level is and always has been 0 about this bill lol. :D[/quote]

[quote=orochinagi][quote=Dante Rebellion] Ahhh okay.. Care level just dropped to 0 [/quote] this... but i'm pretty sure they'll try to enforce US laws to the rest of the world... and it'll affect video hosts that are US based (like youtube and such) Honestly... don't care about this bill xD[/quote]

[quote=Brynollf][quote=Dante Rebellion] Ahhh okay.. Care level just dropped to 0 [/quote] Hes got it.[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]If it actually passes, and excuse the expression, but then I'm gonna laugh my ass off merely because of ^this^ attitude towards it. What if everyone thought that way? It would surely pass then. "Ohh, something as stupid as this won't pass hah".[/quote]

[quote=Lazukin]If it does pass, the government (unless they're absolutely retarded) will realize that they have to rewrite the bill, since if they don't, Youtube will practically die, and thousands of people will go to jail etc. As for the part involving games, I have already explained why that won't affect any LoL players even if the bill does pass. The youtube video in the OP, while he knows what he's talking about, he got one major part wrong: Companies can still change their ToS to allow videos etc and Riot will SURELY do this, as will most other companies.[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]My comment on people's attitude still applies :)[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong][quote=Scrax] My comment on people's attitude still applies :) [/quote] I share the same sentiments. @Lazuki You say that game developers will change something in their ToS to make an exception. Please back this up with evidence.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]They can already pull stuff off youtube by filing copyright claims. They don't because of how much money it's making for them. This bill/law would cripple so much income, most companies are probably going to do this so you can continue to "video-tise" the game and not get in trouble.[/quote]

Please back this up with evidence. [/quote] The only evidence I have is from Notch's blog. He also said something about it on twitter I believe, but I'm not a twitter person (just made an account today and I don't like it). "If the bill passes, I suspect many game companies (including us) will add a special clause to the TOS specifically to allow posting videos of their games. A huge part of why Minecraft has grown so fast is the YouTube community." ^ Notch, creator of Minecraft.[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]All i know that this bill in it's current form is really stupid. But i can't really do anything about it. I really don't belive people are this stupid, but i have been proven wrong...[/quote]
