Precisely. Some dozens of citizens performing relatively harmless individual acts of illegal stream will go to prison and have their lives ruined over twitch activities.
It will be both chilling and pointless and sad, all at the hands of pro-corporate legislators who can't see the people for the dollars in the way.
The law doesn't set a threshold of gain by the perpetrators and that will make it broadly abused: 16-year-olds tried as adults for terrorism and streaming due to videogame habits; security researchers revealing vulnerabilities; the poor trying to share an MMA fight with their friends.
Streaming companies seem to be doing just fine.
