Many of us disagree with Bill S.978. The bill states that people are not allowed to post any videos with any music in the background that is not theirs.

An example is Justin Beiber. Many people may dislike him, but he actually became famous by posting himself sing songs from other artists. He then went off and signed with a record company.

This bill also states that no video game play footage is allowed on YouTube. This means no one can give reviews on the game. Also, many people have jobs on the Internet that involve playing games and posting it on YouTube. For example, people working with Machinima will lose their jobs. An example of a person who was laid off his job and is now working in Machinima is Phil Burnell.

If this bill were to pass, he would lose his job. The last part of the bill also states that you cannot stream shows. This means there can be no anime or other shows that are allowed only in foreign countries. I hope you will sign this petition to tell the Senate to NOT adopt this bill.

Hey cody, can u kinda pause the rule for no cussin, cuz i wanna let out my rage XD

OH CRAP! I am plannin on making a movie with my friends on roblox. DONT SIGN THE BILL!!!
Edit:
We are screwed. Music in the background part will be the only reason it will be signed...

it is only games not movies, so you cannot:
Make a walthrough in any game.
Review of any game.
Or anything that isnt YOUR game(meaning if you didnt make it).

But i agree its sh*t

America at it again I see lol ..it wont work anyway!. Hands up how many people goto official game sites or movie sites made by the companys who created them? ..not a lot of hands there lol.

Most of us goto other game/movie/music forums to see the latest games/movies so if these companys stopped those sites from showing them their sales would go down like a brick in water..so it wont happen and even if it does people will still upload stuff.

And besides even if it becomes law in America it doesnt mean other countrys cant still do it because American law doesnt apply to them. Thats why a lot of video streaming sites which stream movies/tv shows are hosted in foreign countrys because they have no laws against doing it.
