They bring up situations where someone could go to jail for 5 years for posting a video in which they sing a pop song. In what crazy world is some sixteen year-old girl singing a Katy Perry song infringing on her ability to make money? Isn't there a huge line between that type of video, and some music blog posting her entire discography for everyone to take for free? Does anyone really think people will get thrown in jail for posting stuff on YouTube?
I just think this video is painting a picture where the absolute worst case scenario arises from the passage of the bill. Not saying I think the bill is a good idea overall, but this video is a little overdone with the doom and gloom.

First of all, the law probably won't pass so your stupid "adapt or die" comments are just that, stupid.
Second, the worse case scenarios should be considered for a reason. Never mind someone going to jail, how would you like your website blocked by Google because someone you pissed off on GFY could file a few hundred or a few thousand claims against you, using proxies and fake names of course. It would be up to Google to get all of that information to you, get a response, evaluate whether you were telling the truth or not then decide to leave the links up even though they could then be sued if you were lying.
The way the bill is written, that exact situation could very well happen and it has FUCK ALL to do with whether or not the cops would put someone in jail for lip syncing.
Idiots.
