Copyright Crackdown Threatens Youtube Lip-Syncing
- gallerytungsten 15y agoLooking at the text of the bill, http://e-lobbyist.com/gaits/text/296040 http://e-lobbyist.com/gaits/text/296040, one finds this egregious line: "the offense consists of 10 or more public performances by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copyrighted works;" This seems impossibly broad. It also ignores statutory licensing (which allows you to record cover songs and pay a statutory rate).
