Embedding YouTube Videos May Soon Be a Felony

Because rather than just (pointlessly) adding "performance" to the list, the bill tries to also define what constitutes a potential felony crime in these circumstances:
the offense consists of 10 or more public performances by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copyrighted works

So yeah. If you embed a YouTube video that turns out to be infringing, and more than 10 people view it because of your link... you could be facing five years in jail.

Does the jail have wifi?

Great, love it when our politicians are hard at work. How the hell are they going figure out how many hits came from your site. What about it if you post it on a social media site or send it in an email, they going to dig through records just to find some guy who shared a link. Waste of time.

If it has imagine the work you could get done, would come out a rich man :1orglaugh

Won't apply to us in Australia, so no worries here.
