Read the bill: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext...l=s112-978
Too confusing, didn't read?
If you violate copyright by making 10 or more public performances of copyrighted material on the internet, and
-the retail value of the performances is over 2500 dollars or
-the licenses for the performances cost over 5000 dollars,
you can get jailtime or fines
100% agree, He probably read the post on Notches blog that mentioned the bill and misinterpreted what he wrote. The bill simply elaborates a bit more, and rewrites a few sentences.
