even worse, this means that unless you strip all traces of TI from your TI calc, you can be imprisoned for showing video's of your latest calc project X__________X

Unless TI loses $2500 from your 10 calc videos posted in under one hundred eighty days, you probably can't be successfully persecuted  prosecuted :P

Hell streaming video games period doesn't make companies lose money. Which is what they are going for with this.

I somehow doubt the law is targeting game videos with this...

I don't believe it is just games. It includes movies and I believe media as a whole, unless properly licensed to do so.

This isn't nearly as big of a deal as it's being made out to be, from what I understand. KakeyoSilverton has quite a nice explanation on he channel:
&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Of course, Kakeyo's only a law student and I know even less, but I've read up and what she's saying seems pretty sound.

It's not targeted at games but due to wording issues, games are included.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

...unless you upload your video to an american server. In fact YouTube would just block your video in USA, so it's kinda bad if you have American viewers.

So would the example of a little girl singing a lady gaga song be a derivative work?

I did read the bill and it's surprisingly short. A quick change in wording on a single line is all that it would take to fix the issue. The reason why it's so short is because it is an amendment to a previous law. What s.978 does is it redefines copyrighted material while increasing the punishment for breaking copyright law.

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)
