Bill S.978.

[GrooveMan.exe]

Except now they get to decide whether or not what you are doing is worth jail time, not the company of whom you are infringing. It is punishable iof up to 5 years, which is ridiculous. Big time gaming streams can be hurt by this since the government gets to have a say of whether or not what you are doing is illegal. This almost leaves it outside of the companies hands to shut streams/channels down. Sure they won't go after little Joe from the Virginia or something, but I don't want some of my favorite streams being shut down outside of the company's will simply because the asshats in the Government say so.

Except what they were doing was already technically illegal; and the only reason they weren't reprimanded was because the games companies don't give a shit.

Even after the bill, the games companies might not give a shit; but have a formal course of action if they do.
