10 years in prison for illegal streaming? It's in the Covid-19 relief bill | CNN Business
Tucked away in the more than 5,000-page long Covid-19 stimulus bill is a new law that severely punishes streamers that pirate large amounts of copyrighted content.
The measure only applies to big, for-profit operations streaming terabytes of copyrighted content. The government isn't interested in going after the average Joe who wants to watch the big fight without paying $50 for PPV and finds a streaming site in Scandinavia to see it.
EDIT: Just saw Radio-Patrol beat me to this. Mods, please delete this post if possible. It seems to be impossible for a mere poster to do that.
