| in a nutshell, The bill will throw YouTubers in jail and "dance" with Bubba (and i don't mean Elvis) Going to Jail for Linking? What Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s S. 978 Could Mean for You Yes folks, The same party (Democrats) who write the bills you grow to hate about banning M-rated/Violent video games off the market want you to be in jail for stuff like commentaries, reviews and other uses of copyrighted material which fall under Fair Use and Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright laws |
