( Screenshot From Pxhere Official Website ) 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. What happens if you commit copyright infringement? According to the report by Tech.co, the main definition of what constitutes "profit" is still a bit vague. As of the moment, it is still unclear if this particular bill is now aimed at those seemingly flouting copyright laws for huge checks or whether it could possibly encompass other small players like the streamer that uses a small piece of commercial music without a license to do so.
