Who hasn’t seen this kid and had a laugh attack? Well, catch him while you can. A proposed U.S. Senate bill 978 would toughen copyright laws and make it illegal to upload lip-synced videos. If found guilty, the “uploader” could face up to five years in prison.

Keenan Cahill first showed off his lip-sync skills on the WGN Morning News two years ago and today he is one of the biggest stars on the Internet. Now lawmakers are pushing for a new measure that could land him and other lip-sync artists in jail.
