Well not ALL streaming media. The bill that is in the works, Senate bill S.978, would change the way copyright laws for media streamed on the internet are enforced. It would make it illegal for anyone to post media that is copyrighted without the express written consent of the owner.
Now what this means for us, is that anything from posting Call of Duty montages, to the music we use on them, would now be illegal. People who add lyrics to songs on Youtube would now be fined or sent to jail for doing so.
The other part of this bill that has people up in arms is the division of it that would make embedding copyrighted media on an unauthorized website, such as NGU, illegal.
The punishment for breaking the rules of this new bill would include up to 5 years in prison for anyone who posts more that 10 unauthorized works in a 180 day period.
While I do not support this bill, I do see why it is trying to be passed. The amount of copyright infringement that happens is astonishing. Companies lose billions a year from the use and sharing of pirated material.
Now this would have no direct effect on downloading anything from a torrent or file sharing site. You would still be able to do these things. This ONLY affects streaming media such as Youtube, Google Video, or any other streaming media, such as music.
So what do you think about this? Do you think it could get passed? If it does get passed would you still post videos or other material containing copyrighted works?
The following 6 users say thank you to The Open Minded for this useful post:

The Protect IP Act is somewhat related if I'm not mistaken. This is one of the times, that I am counting on Anonymous and Lulzsec to not let this happen. A couple videos...
