"Makes *unauthorized* web streaming of *copyrighted* content a felony with a possible penalty of up to 5 years in prison."
Notice those two words. It's just further enforcing the copyright laws that we already have.
Unauthorized.
As in, they will have to have permission from Gabe Newell to record an HL:E2 video and post it on Youtube.
Relax kid, you actually think the police will track down all those millions of people who've recorded such videos and put them in jail?
But, anyone who records them in the future will.
Yeah like the millions of people in the future will get tracked down. If the law is like you claim it is then the prisons will have about half of the US population in them.
