Ok wait...the article says there are already laws covering this. It's already felonious theft among other things.NoiseWiki wrote: ↑Thu Dec 17, 2020 6:15 pmhttps://www.ipwatchdog.com/2020/12/15/t ... id=128284/While Public Knowledge announced that that they xe2x80x9cdo not see the need for further criminal penalties for copyright infringement,xe2x80x9d the group noted that the bill is narrowly tailored and avoids criminalizing users and streamers who may include unlicensed works as part of their streaming content.

What criminal steaming services?
What are they even talking about...Nextflix? Hubu? Yootube?
This doesn't make a lot of sense.
And again the person at the head of this is not a good person.
I think this is gonna come back to bite us in the ass.

Re: New law...felony for using samples?
^I know that you can occasionally find full movies on YouTube if you look long enough. Usually theyxe2x80x99re xe2x80x9cDMCA-proofedxe2x80x9d by making the screen smaller, flipping the image, altering audio, etc. It does happen, though if I had to guess the main culprit is foreign pirates (just google xe2x80x9c[movie title] Hindi subs 1080xe2x80x9d) that often DO ask for your credit card info and other shady shit, though sometimes itxe2x80x99s for free, especially if itxe2x80x99s anime-related.
For the record, I agree this law is too broad and poorly written, but I donxe2x80x99t see itxe2x80x99s ramifications, realistically, for noise. People have been sampling with and without consent for decades and rarely does anyone give a shit (unless millions of dollars are at stake, good luck with that). I also think the guy in the video is clearly upset and his judgement is clouded because of it. You get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, so to speak.
Whatxe2x80x99s funny about all this is, even if this somehow succeeds and topples all of streaming aside from Netflix, Disney, etc. there will always be torrents where people can actually OWN a digital copy of whatever their heart desires and legally therexe2x80x99s next to nothing anyone can do to stop it.

Re: New law...felony for using samples?
Ah...torrents.
I used soulseek but never got into to torrents
I suppose if I were somebody that hosted torrents I should probably be a bit worried.
I'm not worried about felonies of this nature at all...
I am a proud and blatant abuser and thief of media!
I am a tad bit concerned(maybe amused is a better word)about a new $90 million dollar law suit I'm gonna be named in along with Google and YouTube.
Yeah...ninety million...lol

Re: New law...felony for using samples?
So if people have been caught and charged then why do we need this law?
https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/22/tech/ill ... index.htmlLast year, the Department of Justice charged two computer programmers from Las Vegas for illegal pirating thousands of hours of television shows from Netflix (NFLX) and Hulu and streaming them on websites called iStreamItAll and Jetflicks. One man admitted to earning more than $1 million from his piracy operations.
