Covid relief bill to make illegal streaming a felony with up to 10-year prison sentence
 

Shit just got real!

The covid bill passed last night and in the bill is a felony charge with 10 years in prison for illegal streaming of copyrighted material.

The movie and music business will follow up on this on mainstream platforms;
but what about illegal tubes streaming "copyrighted porn"?

Can porn be copyrighted? I say yes; but what really happens in the courts?

The Stimulus Bill:

The gov't closes the economy. You lose your job. You face eviction.

$600 for all your troubles.

Meanwhile they send:

$135 million to Burma
$85.5 million to Cambodia
$1.4 billion for "Asia Reassurance Initiative Act"
$130 million to Nepal

They hate you.

you forgot Israel....

BTW, that bill is aimed to shut down all those IPTV providers . It is a good part of the bill.

And Israel get 500 million USD. That is a lot of shekels!

All things considered you would rather be in Antigua eh?

:pimp

Also possibly the most important thing to fighting COVID in the bill - Page 5099 legislates the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh . . .

600 USD multiplied by hundreds of millions people that will receive it is still hundreds times more than all help to Burma, Cambodia, Nepal Israel combined.
so not sure what kind of bullshit you post.

I'm surprised there's this many GFY'ers who can't read and it wasn't just the idiot rednecks who live near me.

It's also the federal government's 2021 budget. I know, I know, reading is hard. :thumbsup

I think people are just pissed that they basically shut down everything, Americans are going to food banks and are dirt poor. Citizens are getting some chump change $600, and the money is instead being spent on buying influence in foreign countries like Egypt or Israel.

Least trump has vetoed it.

Socialism for the rich. That's the problem with wealth redistribution in general - it only takes one asshole to figure out that it works just as well in reverse. Tax the poor to pay the rich.

He's asked congress to amend it. He needs to veto it and ask for no more than a 10 page relief bill with nothing but money for those that need it, who are residents of the US. $600 does nothing

They probably shouldn't vote Republican then. :)
