As of Monday night, Congress has officially passed a new COVID-related stimulus bill. On top of issuing a one-time $600 payment to many Americans, the bill included a range of disparate regulation, including a bill with a big impact: Illegally streaming for a profit can be charged as a felony.
The definition of just what constitutes a profit are a little vague – right now it s unclear if this is aimed purely at those flouting copywrite laws for big bucks, or whether it could also encompass much smaller players, such as a streamer who uses a piece of commercial music without licence.

As of recent, the Congress has now officially passed a brand new stimulus bill that is COVID-related. On top of the $600 that Americans will be receiving, there will also be a bill that includes a wide range of different disparate regulations. One of the biggest impacts of the bill would be to make illegal streaming for a profit now a felony.

Pete Docter s âSoulâ features stairway-to-heaven visions of the afterlife, a pre-birth âbeforeâ realm where souls are glowing turquoise orbs and an in-between spiritual realm trafficked by some kind of psychedelic pirate. And yet, kind of magically, it s about âjust regular old living.â
Pixar may have started simple with talking toys, but their concepts have grown increasingly elaborate over the years, giving abstract shape to interior consciousness ( Inside Out ), brightening a peopled world of the dead ( Coco ) and conjuring a mythical suburban land with a father s half-resurrected body ( Onward ). âSoul is a step further, again: a grand metaphysical whatsit â a mid-life crisis movie,
