This probably wont affect me, but it will affect some of you. So what do you think of this new bill?

PS: Can someone fix the title

From the link:

Quote:

In extremely simple terms, it means you’re liable for criminal copyright infringement if you:

Know copyright law forbids unauthorized streaming;
Decide to infringe someone’s copyright anyway;
For commercial advantage or personal financial gain;
By streaming 10 or more copyrighted works without permission;
During a 180-day period; and either
Consumers buying access to all those streams from the copyright holder would spend a total of $2,500 or more; or
You’ve made $2,500 or more illegally streaming those works; or
The fair market license fees to those streams total more than $5,000.

I dont feel like reading through the bill(s), but the inserts he provided do say this, so I dont really see it affecting people that much, if it passes at all
