What is their definition of criminal organizations? I can understand the distinction between users and service providers. I understand users, posters, and creators. It seems to targeting only the service provider, but only if they meet some definition of "criminal organization". Is that just a way to selectively enforce?
Doubtful. If other US policies are anything to judge by, it is a way to brand normal organizations as criminal organizations for media purposes and to be able to use other tactics against them (civil forfeiture, 'throwing the book at them', etc).

Say, a BLM chapter has a copywritten song playing in the background and is taking donations on stream, that would check the boxes of:
- for profit
- streaming copywritten content
It may not be written exactly like this, but I have zero doubt it will eventually be used this way.
Streaming is only going to become more pervasive and copyrights are extremely broad + can be basically infinite extendable which allows the justice system to roll up and brand orgs as criminal.
It's just circular logic to fallaciously justify itself. "criminal organization" == "Any group of >1 person who breaks this law".
The term isn't in the text of the law itself.
