Embedding YouTube Videos Would Bring Felony Charge
If Senate bill 978 passes, embedding a YouTube video on the Internet may bring you a felony charge if more than 10 people view it. The person owning the website and people associated with them could face up to five years in prison if a posted video is found to have violated a copyright and more than ten people viewed it.

The article goes on to say that this bill also lays the groundwork to criminalize even linking to copyrighted information and the shutting down of "alternative media". The article contains a link to the full text of the proposed legislation.
