I'm not good at explaining such things in high detail, but stumbled upon a video about it, and how you can vote against felons for uploading video game footage.

I actually like to watch game reviews, and just cool creations on Minecraft. Although, that isn't relevant.

This bills the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Why take away free publicity from the game?

That's not the intention of the bill, but an unforeseen consequence due to the embarrassingly bad wording of it. I think this is typical of the legislative process here in the USA where congressmen don't know anything and just write whatever lobbyist tell them too, since the lobbyist pay them more than they take as a salary (hurray corruption!). The bad news is, if this bill passes in the US there will be tremendous pressure for other countries to adopt similar laws. Remember the Pirate Bay trial? Yeah, the US-based entertainment market pretty much bought-out Sweeden's legal system for that piece-of-crap trial. And Google has no backbone either, as has been shown time and time again.
