hopefully is doesnt go through. I dont think it would effect me in australia but since alot of content comes from the us, it'll be damaging either way.

I cant imagine that the majority of intelligent game devs/publishers would actually want this to go through since Lets Plays are essentially long demos and free advertising.

Personally I know I only bought games like Magicka and MTG 2012 only after seeing a few Lets Plays. I would wonder how this would affect LPs made outside the US and viewers outside the US.

Really hope this doesnt pass since I do enjoy the amusing commentary of my preferred LPs

it would only directly effect foreigners if their govnt desides to extradite them to usa, since you are bound to the laws of the country you are presently in.

I think these guys are up shit creek with billy bob and he hasn't been laid lately. We'll just get it from some country that don't give a shit about shit like that. I understand all the work these people do to make a game/movie/video etc. but seeing this bill getting passed will not make the country any monies. As broke as we are I just don't see this doing anything but costing the copy right holders money..

I don't see this passing constitutional muster, but then again, we have the most business-friendly Supreme Court in our nation's history...
