Una nueva ley sobre la protección del copyright en Estados Unidos podría mandar a Justin Bieber a prisión por cinco años.
Según publica el portal español Que.es, el proyecto de ley que entró en el Congreso del país americano el pasado mayo posee una redacción demasiado genérica, tanto que podría considerar un delito punible cosas tan habituales como subir un vídeo de una representación teatral o bailar con música de fondo.
A new bill in Congress makes posting a video containing any copyrighted work a felony-- with up to 5 years in prison.
But wait... didn't Justin Bieber get famous by posting YouTube videos of himself singing copyrighted R&B songs? Yep.
If this bill passes, he could get 5 years in jail.
The maximum sentence would be five-years, just for singing a cover! Other online video "crimes" could include: videos of a school play, a professional baseball game, or videos with incidental background music (even just a ringtone). Nuts, right?
The music and movie companies'. In their eyes, stricter copyright law = more $$. They liked when people paid $18 for their plastic discs rather than watching wonderful stuff made by people online. They tried to ban the VCR and they'd like to turn the internet into a movie store. slot
