I'd be cool with this if in exchange they made IP trademarks last two years max, no shenanigans

Well unfortunately it sounds like it's been slipped into the yearly appropriations bill, so it seems more likely than not that it will

Technically they can still stream with permission of the original copyright holder. For example, one could still stream a Nintendo game if they follow Nintendo's guidelines:
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/networkservice_guideline/en/index.html

But, if one wanted to stream an SSBM tournament with modified versions of SSBM, it would become possible to get into serious legal trouble.

I don't think Nintendo has a copyright on a video of a particular match of SSBM unless they produced the match. Not that anyone would be willing to risk going to prison to test it in court though.

The streamed match involves copyrighted characters so I think there's at least a reasonably chance it counts as a violation.

I'm closer to saying intellectual property is bs at this point than it being something that should be defended with every inch of the law and money.

Normally, but it's basically hidden within a much larger bill that is almost sure to pass, so they'd have to specifically go in and remove it first which I'm not too confident they'll do.

According to Politico offshoot Protocol, the felony streaming proposal is the work of Republican senator Thom Tillis, who has backed similar proposals previously.

Twitch is already currently going through DMCA hell with even the top channels receiving strikes not only from playing copyrighted music on stream, but also from playing games that have copyrighted music in them, like GTA or any modern game that uses a popular song.

Twitch, instead of working with creators and possibly solving the issues, like Facebook has by buying licenses to music to allow their streamers to use it, has essentially decided to tell its creators, "damn that sucks, make sure you delete years worth of clips and play games muted so that you don't get fucked, sucks to be you". It's not like its some small indie company, Amazon could deal with this if they cared.

People are receiving strikes for five year old thirty second clips, so the entire platform has essentially been forced to delete every single one of their VODs.

Where it gets even crazier is that people have received strikes for streams in which they were walking around outside or in a store and a song was playing in the background, of which they couldn't have possibly had any control over.

In this case, the omnibus bill to fund the government and prevent a shutdown
