Penalties For Illegal Streaming (Dlive, etc.) Shoehorned Into Covid Relief Bill
Posted By: AndiV Date: Monday, 28-Dec-2020 14:19:44

The US Congress has passed a Covid-19 stimulus bill that, rather incongruously, includes measures against for-profit, 'illegal' streaming services.
Measures previously seen in the CASE Act, the Trademark Modernization Act and the Felony Streaming Act now form part of the bill. These include fines of up to $30,000 and up to ten years in prison for commercial operators who 'willfully, and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain, offer or provide to the public a digital transmission service' of pirated material.
But there's criticism of the claims tribunal as being potentially unaccountable, and fears that 'fair use' provisions will be ignored.
Most notably, though, the bill's come under fire for including anything to do with copyright at all - particularly in a 5,000-word document which legislators had just hours to review.
"This is atrocious. We’re facing a massive eviction crisis and millions are unemployed due to the pandemic, but Congressional leaders could only muster $600 stimulus checks for Covid relief, but managed to cram in handouts for content companies like Disney?" says Evan Greer, deputy director of campaign group Fight for the Future.
