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

[quote=Dante Rebellion][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] Still a long long time till the bill passes. Obvious edits to the bill will happen if it is passed, they [u]cannot[/u] pass a bill that is going to hurt some of the biggest industries (gaming and social media). But lets say it does pass... it will only affect people in USA.. thus meaning that you can still get gaming content, from the EU/asia/etc. So it is less hurtful to the other communities, but another interesting fact is that if lets say it does get passed with no changes, companies will recruit more people to support the law section and/or will publicly give permission for gamers to review and make let's play videos. so yeh.. don't worry ...[/quote]

[quote=Scrax][quote=PotatisFarfar] But i can't really do anything about it. [/quote] You can click one of the links I provided. See what it does :) @Dante: Don't take the "victory" in advance.[/quote]

[quote=Devilesse]I don't think this is going to pass at all. Gaming corporations benefit way too much from having their content posted on YT or other streams for reviews and exposure. Doing something like this would just be plain stupid. Regardless of the nature of the video, it still brings exposure to their game. I don't understand. D:[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]I know. It doesn't make sense at all. I reckon it's some old fart that suggested it. One who HATES technology, and can't even use his cellphone.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Scrax] I know. It doesn't make sense at all. I reckon it's some old fart that suggested it. One who doesn't know shit about technology and can't even use his cellphone.[/quote] Fix'd and yes.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong][quote=Searz] [quote=Scrax] I know. It doesn't make sense at all. I reckon it's some old fart that suggested it. One who doesn't know shit about technology and can't even use his [b]toaster[/b].[/quote] Fix'd and yes. [/quote] Also agreed.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Mmmm... toast.[/quote]

[quote=Joobieo#41288]How does streaming / posting videos about video games actually hurt anyone? I mean I'm lost.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Joobieo] I'm lost.[/quote] Yup, very.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]The government thinks this "It costs companies money because people have already seen how the game is and now will not buy it." While this is true with movies, TV shows, ect. this is not the case with games where everyone can have a different experience.[/quote]
