Embed a video, go to jail

Legal eagles, public servants

If more than 10 people view a video you post to your site from YouTube in a 180 day period and that video turns out to be an infringement, three US Senators (named above) would like to put you in jail for five years.

No, I'm not kidding.

They want to turn a minor civil issue into a serious criminal offense.

They want to kill the world of embeded videos.

Otherwise, this is a great law.

Can you imagine the chain of idiocy that had to take place for this law to be put before the Senate?

Someone had to think of it. Someone had to write it down. At least three idiot Senators and their clueless staffs had to think it was worth the time and effort to put forward.

The financial industry has committed a multi-trillion dollar fraud. The TSA is completely out of control and getting worse every day. Corporations have completely corrupted the legislative and legal process...

...And these idiots want you to do hard time for embedding a YouTube video.

It would seem the actual embedding code holds the key to criminal charges under the circumstances of this legislation.

• I wonder if one only provided a link to the video, would the law still be broken?
• Or, if one only provided the 'key words' that would lead to the video in a search, would the law also be broken?
• And, what about all the videos you have embedded in the past? Would these too be subject to the terms of this legislation?

If this law passes, it looks like we all have a lot of work to do, cleaning-up all of our past posts!!!

Somethings to ponder the next time you wish to embed a video for a resource to your comment.

Thank you heyokah for this find....

US government to set up internet Ministry of Truth as communist-style government-run media

From he article:

It was Thomas Jefferson, the father of the U.S. Constitution and third president of the United States, who once said, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." Clinton's call for a dictatorial info-suppression agency, with support from some U.S. lawmakers and the federal agency charged with guarding free speech, means Americans had better keep their heads in the game if they want to continue to experience the freedom the internet helps guarantee.
