Northern Sage Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 The point is, the bill was rejected, then what was said was that it was still up, but being re-evaluated and then we haven't heard anything about it for the last few months. Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 :S Not in the US, don't even know whether it applies over in Europe, but basically the bill is ONLY for [b]people who illegally stream media to the internet for profitable purposes.[/b] Basically, Beiber won't be in jail because when he posted his videos that got him famous, they were not for profitable purposes. Only for people to view on YouTube. If people take things like mangas unofficially up on the net and ask people to PAY for them without permission from the manga's company first to distribute it, then they are subject to the bill.
