It use too, I’m past being offended. My point was you seriously thinking Trump will Veto. He’s a swamp creature like the rest. He learned from the best.
10 years in prison for illegal streaming? It's in the Covid-19 relief bill https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/22/tech/illegal-streaming-felony-covid-relief-bill/index.html Tucked away in the more than 5,000-page long Covid-19 stimulus bill is a new law that severely punishes streamers that pirate large amounts of copyrighted content. You probably have nothing to worry about: The "Protecting Lawful Streaming Act," which was introduced earlier this month by Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, doesn't target casual internet users. The law specifies that it doesn't apply to people who use illegal streaming services or "individuals who access pirated streams or unwittingly stream unauthorized copies of copyrighted works." Rather, it's focused on "commercial, for-profit streaming piracy services" that make money from illegally streaming copyrighted material. Tillis said that this practice costs the US economy nearly $30 billion yearly. "This commonsense legislation was drafted with the input of creators, user groups, and technology companies and is narrowly targeted so that only criminal organizations are punished and that no individual streamer has to worry about the fear of prosecution," he wrote in a statement. If a violator is prosecuted, they could be imprisoned up to 10 years for multiple offenses, and they could be fined. The bipartisan bill has support from five Democratic senators and four Republicans. It also has support from two groups including Public Knowledge, a consumer advocacy group, which called the bill "narrowly tailored" so it doesn't affect regular internet users. "We appreciate Senator Tillis' decision to release the text of his proposal, and his leadership in bringing in consumer groups to the table, listening to our concerns, and working to prevent risk to end users and legitimate streamers and streaming platforms," Meredith Rose, Public Knowledge's senior policy counsel, said in a statement. In a separate response, the National Association of Broadcasters said it "strongly supports" the law. Last year, the Department of Justice charged two computer programmers from Las Vegas for illegal pirating thousands of hours of television shows from Netflix (NFLX) and Hulu and streaming them on websites called iStreamItAll and Jetflicks. One man admitted to earning more than $1 million from his piracy operations. The "Protecting Lawful Streaming Act" could become a law as soon as this week when President Donald Trump is expected to sign the stimulus legislation.
oh, they're just asking for this to be vetoed. FWIW, this would kill all the tiktokers that comment on "live" things like political events (elections) and/or newscasts.
https://www.engadget.com/covid-19-s...eaming-copyright-law-tacked-on-102046838.html Congress approves COVID-19 spending bill with contentious copyright measures Streaming illegal content for profit is now a felony. They make illegal streaming for profit a felony and could see individual internet users being fined up to $30,000 simply for sharing memes, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and other consumer rights groups. While that’s good in theory, the EFF has argued that it could mean huge fines for individuals sharing copyrighted material on social media. “The CASE Act could mean internet users facing $30,000 penalties for sharing a meme or making a video,” it wrote earlier. “It has no place in must pass legislation.” It noted that if an individual is hit with a CASE claim, they would need to reply to the Copyright Office “in a very specific way, within a limited time” to avoid a steep fine.
fake news: https://www.npr.org/2020/12/22/9494...ce-asks-for-changes-after-bitter-negotiations Trump did not expressly threaten to veto the legislation. It was passed by overwhelming majorities in the House and Senate, with enough votes to potentially override a presidential veto if Trump were to carry out that option.
Lol. What a misrepresentation of President Trump’s speech. After this you don’t think he’ll veto it? It’s in the best interest of all Americans that he does. This shit-storm is Congress fault not Trump. If they want to override his veto now after everyone has seen the shit this bill contains, be my guest. Anyone that votes to override a veto passing this bill should forget any hope of reelection. Lobbyists and Special Interest groups are crapping their pants tonight.
He's a butthurt paper swamp tiger w/nothing to lose who just issued pardons for some of the swampiest creatures. So I'd say 50/50
