I can't remember the name of the bill, but the one that's been floating around Congress making it to where you can't post more then 10 videos of Copyrighted material within 6 months or something along the lines of that. Now everyone has been flipping shit lately because they think Machinima and the entire YouTube gaming community will be ****ed. This is not the case at all.
Worst case scenario, let's say the bill passes. Gaming companies like us putting videos of the game up, it's like free advertising to them. if they didn't like it they would have stopped it over 2 years ago when it started. On every game you see a FBI Warning thin saying you can't make copies of the game, resell it for profit, etc. When it passes they will probably write a new disclaimer saying that when you buy the game you have the right to post videos of it but not to resell it or make copies, or they might say it's OK to make videos and they won't press charges. IF they don't do any of that, they will definitely work something out with Machinima and YouTube partners to where it's okay for them to post videos. The little guys 'might' get f*cked over on it but everyone else should be fine.
This law applies more to TV shows, movies, and music.
Bottom line. Gaming videos make games more money. Game developers like money, and they will allow the gaming videos to keep getting posted.
