I was scrolling across deviantART, and came across this HIGHLY shocking news that everyone needs to know about right now!
We all know about copyright infringement and the numerous laws preventing us from using copyrighted material. Some sites and companies take these things very seriously if あなた do not have permission from 発言しました company. But there are sites and companies that's only ask that あなた give credit where credit is due. Thankfully like DA.
Now, over the past few days I have just been strolling thru the Internet, visiting some of my fav sites to chill on, and every site has been posting the same thing, and if what they are saying is true... Guys, were ALL in trouble!
Word is that Congress is looking to pass a new bill for copyright laws, and what this bill states is that ANYONE that streams/posts anything that has been copyrighted can be CRIMINALLY CHARGED with massive fines and in some cases being IMPRISONED.
This bill can actually cripple companies, and ruin people's lives and may throw societies into chaos!
Big websites such as DeviantART, YouTube, IGN and Machinima will probably be the hardest hit, and I'll just go thru and describe why I chose these 4 and I will also describe the severity of the punishments for this new bill.
I'll start with YouTube.
This site will most likely be THE HARDEST HIT, only because of how much copyrighted material this site contains. If this bill is to be passed this will mean that YouTube will have to remove every single video that contains copyrighted material. This may sound just like the old laws and rules for YouTube but it's just もっと見る sever! Let's take Justin Beiber as a example, he was discovered on YouTube with some of his covers of other artists, but because he did not have permission to cover the song, he can now be criminally charged. Same goes for any other musician that covers songs. Not only that, but now any body that reviews clips of something that has been copyrighted can also be found criminally offensive. 線, レイ William Johnson the host of the hit YouTube 表示する =3 and frontman for comedy hip hop group Your お気に入り Martian can also be charged for simply reviewing clips from 狐, フォックス News and wherever else and using references to other things in his music. And this man had made his life off this site and has become the most subscribed channel on YouTube, and now him and Justin Bieber can now be found as criminals.
I know most of あなた aren't JB fans, but this is just to prove a point. Don't go saying, "Rid of Justin Bieber? Maybe this isn't bad news after all!" That's just immature. THIS IS SERIOUS!!!!

We can be found criminally for just simply drawing our お気に入り characters with out permission from ディズニー または any other アニメーション company. And think of how many ファン bases are on this site, and also think of how many artists are on this site. I don't think that there is one artist on DA that hasn't done any form of ファン art. And with this law it means that we will now have to remove it all! This will probably destroy the site. Think of how life for all of us will be if we couldn't draw our fav characters. And it's not stealing, I see it as idolizing! and if the bill gets passed (let's use our P and F ファン base) we will have to remove all our pics, comics and ocs! No anything!
The punishments for this new bill are RIDICULOUS! they include being fined thousands upon thousands of dollars and in some cases even a Max of 5 years in prison! I'm not joking!
All they say, is that they ask us to get permission from the company first. But come on! If I Eメール ディズニー and ask to use P and F in a drawing do あなた think they will answer? No, I don't. They far to busy creating master pieces to answer.
Guys, I'm not lying about this! This is serious shit!
I don't want to get あなた all worried (but that's probably what I did) but we just need to be informed. It may take sometime for this bill to get passed but who knows for sure.
And maybe we can't do anything to fight it, または maybe we can?
I ask あなた to please spread the word so we can all be informed and maybe rise up and stop this before it's too late!:
