NO! This is a terrible idea. It's one thing to punish people who pirate movies and TV shows, but it's a whole nother thing to punish someone for videotaping themselves singing a song and then post it on YouTube for people to enjoy. Or punishing someone for posting some song lyrics they like as their FaceBook status. Or posting a picture of a celebrity they like on Tumblr. It's not right to punish people who are obviously making no money off of something. It's just not right. And that bill is so vague that if it passes, that could happen. There'd be no more Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Live Journal, or even message boards.
