Could This Really Happen? A new bill in Congress makes posting a video containing any copyrighted work a felony-- with up to 5 years in prison. But wait... didn't Justin Bieber get famous by posting YouTube videos of himself singing copyrighted R&B songs? Yep.

If this bill passes, he could get 5 years in jail.

Bieber arrested Just after 3pm PST, Bieber tweeted "OMG-- cops at house, want to arrest the bieb re: those neyo songs PLS RT!!" By 3:12pm, a now-routine "online singing" arrest had become a tweenage riot. A SWAT team was deployed to extract Bieber from throngs of small but enraged fans.

Selena Gomez visitation Bieber girlfriend Selena Gomez made an appearance during Tuesday's visiting hours to show support for the jailed star. Gomez herself faces jail time for singing Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" on Youtube. When asked if she regretted recording the video, Gomez responded "Oh f--- no, I killed that s---."

The Prosecution's case Thanks to S. 978, prosecutors just had to prove Bieber benefited commercially in some way, and that was easy--the videos advanced his career. The defense claimed fair use, but the judge--with 217 "felony streaming" cases to hear that week alone--gave Bieber the maximum sentence: 5 years.

The RIAA and MPAA respond The music and film industry are "not concerned" that their own law has jailed one of their stars. Said the RIAA's Mitch Bainwol, "We've already sued 13-year olds into bankruptcy. Getting the government to jail them was the logical next step. These 'singer' types are a dime a dozen anyway."

Infographic: Artists in Jail Many famous musicians have spent time in jail, though Bieber is the first to do so for singing. Firearms, drunk driving, and domestic violence charges are much more common, and sentences for these rarely reach five years.

Confusion brings face tattoo In his first from-jail interview, Bieber addressed the controverisal decision to have an ice cream cone tattooed on his face. "I told the guys I wanted to wear Gucci and they gave me this. I don't even know what it means."
