He explains that according to this bill, only LINKING to copyrighted material makes the website (Kiwike) a website "dedicated to theft of US property"
For example, linking to music videos in the music thread like partyars said.
This would be a threat to all user generated websites. That means a website where people can post text (such as comments or a forum), upload pictures, videos etc.
What's even scarier is the last thing he explains. For example, if we made it so you need a password to access the Kiwike forums and we don't even have any links to copyrighted material, that wouldn't even matter! Because we are "hiding" it from them.
These bills take the old "Not guilty until proven otherwise" and turns it the other way around. It's absolutely insane.
