If its passed the gamers of the US will rise up, and move to Canada. Well at least I'll be doing that, or something.
Fix'd

In all seriousness, I am strongly considering this with the way things are going nowadays.

Me, I'd probably go to Sweden.  I hear they have nice health care.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

Don't go to Sweden.
Sweden is backwards.
Go to Denmark.

I was thinking of moving to-- Oh wait I am not in America.

HAHAHA

But in all seriousness, this law reeks of crime squad forming. This is... Stupid.

I really don't know what to say other then that this bill is horrible, its like the person who came up with it was like "Hey guys lets come up with mundane reasons to send people to be prison, Come on it will be fun!"

Whats next? Are they going to penalize screen-shots with prison time?

No, they have them in corporation's ass.
Fixed. Political stupidity has reach yet higher levels of idiot, even though no one thought there could be a more idiotic idiot.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Your supposed to start out like this:

"Do you want to hear something disturbing?

Congress wants to send people to prison for 5 years over You-tube videos of Games!"

Look... While I would agree that things like Reviews, gameplay videos, and letsplays do lead to a definitive loss of money...

It just isn't worth a law like this at all.

Really Corps really? You want to go this far to make sure that only the reviewers you want can properly review your games? That people can't put up their gameplay videos or show their matches?
-It will seriously hurt non-pure-text reviews all in all. Think about it! Sure you could review something... but you couldn't show clips or screenshots unless you got permission from the creators.

Did this Bill go through? if it did... wow.
