...Online gaming community? What are you talking about? What bill? How will liking a video fix it?

Dude, here's a quick little explanation about the bill.
tl;dr The US government wants to stop internet streaming of Movies/Games/Things on the internet, unless you actually DO have written consent from the companies.
Also IIRC, we aren't supposed to discuss politics here.

Hah. Yeah, that'll never pass. Ever heard of 'Fair Use of Copyrighted Material'? Besides, the USA doesn't control the world or Internet, so Americans could just host their english websites on say Japanese servers and be totally immune to such a stupid law.
Don't they have better things to do, right now, anyway? Isn't the economy in the toilet?

Sadly, it is. Just goes to show... I'm movin' to Canada. But this bill can pass, for one reason and one reason only. I have seen not ONE politician that gives a care. They could care less about the community, they don't watch the stuff. But there's a key point: You cannot be arrested unless a certain producer/developer WISHES TO PRESS CHARGES. And who's gonna press charges against some guy who's basically ADVERTISING your game? That's just dumb. So really, it doesn't matter anyway. (Of course, the reviews are out the window if you call a game bad...)

A bill that wants to shut down the online gameing community? That cant happen in this capitalist society, think about all the money that would be lost.

Some BS like that, which they can't touch, leaving this bill useless. This is how so many people get away with selling merchandise in Union Square in New York because they just call these small modifications "art".

Problem solved. GJ America.
Touching up on the politics bit, this is a law, which last I checked can be discussed on the boards. The rule against discussing Religion, politics, and sports (if sports is there, I'm not sure) is to prevent arguments that can never be won and will exist only to piss people off.
