User blog comment:FireBird-/Law Bill S.978 Can Shut Down Gaming Videos on Youtube!/@comment-3240688-20110728013953/@comment-670668-20110728022651

As I said before: current wording is "unauthorized web streaming." Few, if anyone, gets "authorization" to stream copyrighted content, particularly game developers that do not want to take legal action because they it is actually to their benefit.

YouTube has previously taken down videos that supposedly violated someone else's copyright, but the copyright holder did not request a takedown. To think that mistakes like that can contribute to you being made a felon, and losing your right to vote, is ridiculous.
