>unauthorized streaming for commercial purposes (for profit) will become a felony, not "personal" streaming. I don't think that's the intent at all. This bill is an extension of the 1997 NET Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NET_Act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NET_Act) which was specifically designed to make it possible for non-commercial copyright infringement to be prosecuted as a criminal offense. Also read this testimony, in particular the mention of "private financial gain" which is a very broad definition: http://www.copyright.gov/docs/regstat060111.html http://www.copyright.gov/docs/regstat060111.html Anyone claiming this can only be applied to commercial infringement is blowing smoke. The title of the bill "Commercial Felony Streaming Act" should be changed to "Felony Streaming Act".
