First of all, it won't pass, second of all, I'm British.
Lolol.
Your videos are on American websites correct? So your part of it.
Worst comes to worst we go back to the days of downloading brickfilms.
Well, I hope everyone is using the Bricks in Motion selected websites for they're music and sounds. I do (I use Incompetech and Flashkit like I mentioned before) but I believe, personally, this "bill" will not come out. Doesn't the government have other things to do the remove videos with, I dunno, a Bruno Mars song? On YouTube, the only video I have with content matched is a Brickfilm Music Video. And WMG is going around claiming voice recordings are theirs. This is kind of confusing.

That'll still be illegal if this bill is passed.
I really hope this doesn't pass.

But Google would be scared of being sued most likely too. And they could easily change where they're based.
But anyone outside the States isn't due to pay the fine anyway.
They would not ban lego videos, or take them away. Because LEGO is earning more sales. Cos we are almost advertising lego
Guys let's just calm down alright? Even if this happens Google would definitely move to some other country (Canada or some European Union country...) being worried about this bill is just as being worried about J. Depp's career (it will do fine 
)
If it happens, why cant we make a whole new website for posting brickfilms? Like BrickTube or something! Im from Norway, so LOL!

Well youtube pays me cash for brickfilms I doubt BrickTube would 
so I'm loyal to YT...
Eh. I kind of like the sound of BrickTube. Remove all the other crap and add more brickfilms! 
But people wouldn't get paid (like LarryStudios said) because YouTube has the money to but who knows if the owner of BrickTube can?

It's not like most of us make money from our videos now.

They wouldn't bother even trying to trace that though.
That is illegal now though anyway. But remember this bill would only effect Americans.

Technically speaking, it's not. It's illegal to download bootlegged material, like songs and movies, but its not illegal to download original content that may contain bootlegged material (yet).
I would think LEGO would want their products promoted, wouldn't you?
It's good I can make flash animations.
LEGO would never forbid people to make brickfilms! Don't be silly! The other toy companies can only dream about such free advertisement as "Force Unleashed" and other videos... Kids see a vid like that they go to the store and buy some legos so that they could play with them or make these silly little brickfilms or maybe even great epic ones.
^This^
Now, I'm wondering, will this bill also make such videos as LPs and parodies illegal? Because I enjoy the Yogcast, NintendoCaprisun, and Machinima.
But frankly, this bill is quite short-sighted. As Larry already pointed out, most of the stuff that would be illegal would stop so much free advertising that LEGO, Majong, Valve, Nintendo, etc. are getting from such videos. I really disagree with such a thing, I hardly think it will pass, and if it does...I guess I'll have to be a criminal.
Ugh... I really hate the American government.
First chance I get, I'm movin' to Scotland.
I hope this doesn't go through. If it does we should protest.
So how's catchin' those criminals? Murderers, rapists, pedophiles, thieves, no, wait the U.S. government is trying to pass a pointless law to make more of the population criminals, and by the way the legal system works out - they'd probably do nothing at all to catch the people who go against the law.
