:stoned is this the end of YOUTUBE ?!!!

http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-s978/show

"Makes unauthorized web streaming of copyrighted content a felony with a possible penalty of up to 5 years in prison. Illegal streaming of copyrighted content is defined in the bill as an offense that "consists of 10 or more public performances by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copyrighted works" and has a total economic value, either to the copyright holder or the infringer, of at least $2,500."


it hasn't passed yet , but wouldn't youtube be guilty of this right now ?

How would/could youtube alter its model to abide by this law ?
