    Congress is considering passing a bill that could shut down gaming videos and streams. It's called Bill S.978. This bill would shut down nova channel and channels like AVGN, Rooster teeth, machinima and other gaming channels all over the internet would be shut down.

    In my opinion, this is injustice and limits our rights. How is posting a video of someone gaming, which is a one time experience, the same as posting a tv episode or movie illegally. Movies are copyrighted and can be watched over and over again. This bill needs to be revised completly otherwise it is not following our rights to post.

    Here is the bill, specifically. Read it for yourself to make your own informed decision.
