    Everyone is affected by this bill if it passes, it's not something a simple host change can solve.

    He lives in Canada though. If the bill passes, he won't be able to use a American hosting site. He will have to find a different one, simple as that.

    I know he lives in Canada, but this will affect EVERYONE, whether we like it or not.

    What's your point? It won't affect any thing other than American companies and the videos on those sites. And no, this law won't spread, because most of the other governments of the world have more productive things to do with their time.

    Youtube is American, Bilp.tv is American, most people go to these sites for video. Of course I know this law won't spread, I'm not that naive. It's going to affect people, that's it. You say it like it's nothing. Anything like this bill should never be ever allowed, that's what I mean.

    That's fair enough. What I am saying though is that there will inevitably be another site that rises to cash in on this new law, so it won't be long if at all that we will be without our non-American let's players and commentators.

    Exactly. All you really need (or Stalin atleast) to circumvent this law would be for a blip.tv lclone site to be created somewhere other than the United States.

    Fyi, free speech doesn't grant you the right to profit off pf other people's copyrighted work. Musicians can't just profit off of singing other musicians songs, or taking samples from their songs under the auspices of free speech. I would argue that stuff like this if thought about in terms of speech could qualify as commercial speech, and as such as subject to much more stringent scrutinies.

    Che wants this to pass so it will hurt America, obviously. He doesn't care how that happens. So Che supports the bill, that obviously means it will be fucking horrible for us.
