Justin Bieber could go to Jail for 5 Years if the Bill Passed, lets hope not!
Internet Censorship: S.978 could put Justin Bieber in jail for up to 5 years, lets hope not!
Justin Bieber could face up to five years in jail if the S.978 bill is passed this week. Known as the ‘Commercial Felony Streaming Act’, S.978 is currently pending introduction into The House of Representatives, with a decision due on Wednesday (26th October 2011), reported contactmusic.com.
Justin Bieber started his career by posting YouTube videos of himself covering popular songs belong to Neyo, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake, etc.
According to the website CensorshipInAmerica.com, the bill would make web streaming of copyrighted content a felony, with a prison sentence of up to five years for those found guilty. That would mean up-and-coming artists could go to jail for posting a YouTube video featuring copyrighted content, i.e., major chart hits.
So, basically you’re not allowed to sing popular song and post it on youtube! This is ridiculous! Lets hope this bill doesn’t pass!!
