I agree with Mtm. That bill needs to be stopped. While copyright violaters do need to be cracked down on, that violation isn't worthy of a felony; you have a felony, and you're pretty much screwed for life.

I agree.

Note also that this bill, if passed, would kill the "Let's Play" community, which is a MAJOR part of the YouTube and videogame community, and would also kill recorded tournaments and other gameplay videos.  Also note that, unlike current law, this bill lets the government go after violators"\ themselves--under the current law, the copyright holder has to initiate the action, so if the company itself enjoys the free publicity and encourages players to share their experiences online (i.e. Mojang with Minecraft and Valve with...well, everything it touches Tongue ), you're safe, because they won't sue you for something they want you to do.  With the government in charge of this, on the other hand...
