Reads like it would be unconstitutional (freedom of speech and expression) while not even being a speed bump in the road for thieves looking to profit from stealing the work and likenesses of others. Especially if those thieves live outside of US jurisdiction.

So basically it's the wrong idea and will punish the wrong people. Sounds like our corporate-owned lawmakers alright.

Especially if those thieves live outside of US jurisdiction.

If they're in a jurisdiction that doesn't define what they're doing as "thievery", are they thieves? That's kind of a problem if go down that path, there are plenty of jurisdictions that criminalize things that people inside the US do freely.
