if you like watching gaming videos, people singing songs on youtube, watching live stream gaming, walkthroughs, game reviews or gaming commentary there is a problem this video link will explain everything:
ALERT! Bill S.978 Will SHUT DOWN Gaming Videos and Streams EVERYWHERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hytigOSjJxc#ws)
If the United States single handedly controlled the internet, we'd be screwed.
Luckily, they don't.
ever heard of the domino theory allie
the whole problem is if this thing is passed other companies around the world will start making their congressmen join in and support this bloody bill causing a large problem for everyone as gaming stimulates the economy quite a bit and without the freedom to do what you want and watch what you want on the internet the social impacts and economical impacts are quite large
i urge anyone that reads this to spread it around so that we can advertise this problem to hopefully get this bill amended to stop this fate from befalling games

Hmmm, that is from the cold war. When the U.S capitalism feared that if one of the western nations fell to communist the rest will also. =/ Sad times, isolation, red scare and shiz...
unfortunately human nature makes the domino theory a very real threat to the internet and gamers
The bill cant get passed. Literally it can't get passed. The first amendment stops it from being able to get passed so gamers win government GTFO
