Yes, but not for "end stealers" like "The Villages People" buying at Marion Market but only those selling for a profit like the folks at the flea markets. It's amazing what gets stuck and hidden away inside bills to get them passed. This new law was stuck on page 200 of the new stimulus bill.

The story: The new stimulus bill makes illegal streaming a felony – TechCrunch

Copied from above link: Senator Tillis also issued a press release noting that the legislation was co-led by Senator Patrick Leahy (a Democrat from Vermont) and emphasizing that it will only apply to “commercial, for-profit streaming piracy services.”
