Why punish the act of recording? If they're stupid enough to film themselves committing a crime, don't get in the way.

Because it sticks if other charges don’t.

Might be jurisdiction. Let’s say a person who is not a Polish citizen committing and broadcasting a crime outside of Poland, then trying to enter Poland. IANAL but I think this law sends that person to jail as long as the video is accessible from inside Poland.

This is aimed at so called pato-streamers (from pathological). Till now nothing could be done about them as they claimed it was dramatizing only. No law prevented streaming fake-rape (and streamers were smart and implied the act while being off camera, so anti-pornography laws didn't apply) Such streamers were wildly popular with youth, so crackdown happened. There's now law to back state versus that, but rest assured no one will try to pick people off the street. Polish law is riddled with laws allowing easy punishment but there's no will to exercise it.

Poland is in a deep judiciary crisis. Even slightly wealthy and/or connected people get off scot free in courts. People driving drunk, vehicular homicide, murderers set free or getting severely reduced sentences, etc. People are pissed, Government is impotent and unable/unwilling to fix Judiciary, turns to performative laws instead. There is a joke in Poland "Terrible crime!! punishment 20 years prison or $10 fine". This latest stupid law is the result of string of trashstreamers being exonerated by courts for no reason: https://szczecin.tvp.pl/90330773/kamerzysta-wyrok-szczecinski-sad-uniewinnia-patostreamera-w-sprawie-o-znecanie https://szczecin.tvp.pl/90330773/kamerzysta-wyrok-szczecinsk... Trash streamer humiliating mentally handicapped kid. Made him jump into septic tank, jump from first floor to a garbage container, eat from cat litter etc. Court didnt even have a hearing for the victim. Closed proceedings, secret verdict justification, full exoneration for the streamer. Total farce. https://epoznan.pl/news-news-154865-patostreamer_oskarzony_o_znecanie_sie_nad_zwierzetami_zostal_uniewinniony https://epoznan.pl/news-news-154865-patostreamer_oskarzony_o... https://przegladsportowy.onet.pl/esportmania/influencerzy/znecal-sie-nad-zwierzetami-teraz-grzegorz-g-uslyszal-szokujacy-wyrok/9m3nd75 https://przegladsportowy.onet.pl/esportmania/influencerzy/zn... Trash streamer abusing animals in streams targeting children. In one of the streams underaged participant was licking dogs genitalia or some sick shit like this. Incited to assault another streamer, raped his partner, and published underage pornography (naked pictures of 12y old). Full exoneration for the streamer. Total farce.
