Can't they just look at the view counts? It sounds like some suited idiot in Viacom was told about the Ewe Toobs and that they might infringe on some copyrights... and they don't really understand how the site works. It's a completely disproportionate reaction. |

What are they going to do? Sue somebody for watching something on the internet? Like the end user really effin cares how the content was obtained. These lawsuits will go over like a pregnant poll vaulter. |

Oh my Ford! I've been watching kids make cheesy video clips to well-known songs. Gasp, shock, horror! I would call it advertising. I'm a punk, and I was referred to a YouTube posting of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" as performed by The Associates. Ford knows if that was an illegal download, but I still call it advertising because I now own a legit copy of a song that I previously didn't know existed. Although Billy's not a good looking as Debbie. From all the "copyright" actions I've observed on YouTube, most of them seem to be censor-motivated rather than copy protection. If Google had any sense, they would provide those Four iTB chunks of data as hard copy. Just like Tax Time: I have one of those old printers that spits pages across the room, beneath it is about a two-foot stack o fan fold computer paper, and I kindly explain to the tax man, that he according to legislation he is only entitled to taxation information and not other sensitive information on the computer. Anything he wan'ts can be printed out. "But what about all that paper?" "Oh, don't worry. I have a couple of pallets down stairs, you won't run out." If you really want to upset them, change the numeric fields to roman numerals. Have you ever tried doing long division in roman numerals???? |
