I don't wanna watch the video of the fat weirdo, so I'm gonna take the title at face value. Meh. I have paid GMod, I don't really care. |

Wait, did Flashlight edit the title (considering he edited the post, which is just a video and a word, and nothing else changed, I'm betting on this), or did I actually misread it and it's about comics? I'm still not paying attention to the overweight dude. |

Yeah, pretty much the guy was saying that videos and streaming of copyrighted content would be banned, I don't think that includes screencaps like Gmod comics. >_> |

Videos, streaming = YouTube and shit like that, where maintaining copyright is done with chaos and insanity. GMod comics = Forums dedicated to the subject, where no one gives a shit if you're using ported Mass Effect or Pokémon models, much less that you're doing comics with a video game. So no, Flashy, comics won't be banned. Nor will machinima related to Valve games, probably, seeing as Valve isn't made up of assholes. |

He did mention that even showing footage of the games source code is going to be made illegal, so i assume It's going to be like that for comics too. You would need permission from the actual developer to post a screenshot. Also he said that singing karaoke and posting it on the web is going to be against that law too. And stop hating on FZE....

"Footage". As in, videos. And you're being absolutely paranoid; just go to YouTube and search for songs, you'll see how well copyright infringement laws are applied. What? I wasn't hating on him. I was saying that using models from other companies' games on GMod is illegal, and yet nobody moves a finger. |

Those are two compleatly differnt things, distributing a games source code is by and large illegal. Screenshots live in that gray area that fan art exists in (Though with screenshots it depends on the site some are a little more black and white *COUGH*DeviantArt*COUGH*). Though its better to be non-profit with them to not cause much trouble. All this rather alarmist, as far as I'm aware this bill has yet to go through and will be hell to try and uphold. As Mythos said just search for songs on youtube and you find many, hell I've been able to watch the entire serise of Dragonball on it. So what good will this really do? |
