So I found out about this a couple of days ago but didn't really look into it because I was really sleepy at the time but there's a new bill (in the US) that's being considered called Bill S.978 that is suppose to prevent people from uploading/streaming video of copyrighted material. It's intended to stop the uploading episodes of tv shows, movies etc. but will also affect gameplay uploads, let's plays, reviews, people doing karaoke... well just watch these videos, reading this back to myself I can tell I'm not doing a good job of explaining but they do
Links talked about in the video:

So what do you guys think? This to me, as an avid review/let's play watcher, does sound serious if the bill doesn't get re-worded
EDIT: Oh by the way, I'm not sure if I posted this in the right section....
