making streaming a Felony.. oppose Bill S. 978 (united states)
business's lobbyists are launching another attack on Internet culture. Senators are considering a "Ten Strikes" bill to make it a felony to stream copyrighted content -- like music in the background of a Youtube video, lets play videos or any copywrite content regardless of context.
Ten strikes and you could get jail time. Less than a month ago, the Hollywood industry magazine, Variety, reported, "Industry lobbyists pressed House members on Wednesday to pass legislation that would make illegal streaming of movies, TV shows and other types of content a felony...."
i get streaming movies and tv shows. and that content should be protected. but in the case of cute little girl singing lady gaga songs or lets play gaming videos or in youtube's case 80% of the content will be considered a violation due to "public performance of copy written-content"
sign it and send it, tell your lawmakers you want the right to promote content.
video explanation:
the bill:

“I suppose you’re a radical now?”
Doc’s eyebrows lifted slightly. “Not at all. Radical and conservative are terms for emotional attitudes, not sociological opinions.”

Obama Administration backs Performance Rights Act
http://copyrightsandcampaigns.bl…The Obama Administration is backing the Performance Rights Act, which would require terrestrial radio stations to pay royalties to record labels when they play the labels' songs. Under current US law, radio stations pay royalties to music publishers and writers, but -- unlike in much of the world -- not to owners of sound recordings. In a letter to PRA backer and Senate Judiciary Commitee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Commerce Department General Counsel Cameron Kerry (Sen. John Kerry's (D-MA) brother) said US government support for a public performance right in sound recordings dates back to 1978.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, on the other hand, backed the Boehner plan. In a letter to all House members, the Chamber urged them to vote for the plan, saying that 'this legislation is critical. Default on our debt obligations is not an acceptable option. The time for Congress to act is now.
