| Re: Forcing Google? The threatened RIAA lawsuits did have an effect on the YouTube purchase by Google. I knew Google wouldn't have purchased YouTube with a ton of litigation hanging over the deal. This was the "other shoe" dropping that was implicit in the deal. Google is now a corporate behemoth with stockholders to answer to and they can't afford to coddle copyright infringers.
And things like this helped drive their decision to cooperate: »www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx···le=35026

| Bro, Google doesn't have nothing to worry about to begin with. Wasn't YouTube already taken to court and WON a case about having TV programs on it the day after they aired. They won, and were told they could still allow this to be posted on their site. Now the music video situation is something they are "being nice" about, but as it stands, I don't seem to have any problem watching them here, or at Yahoo, where you can watch them on-demand, free of charge anyway. Google technically is extremely wealthy, and it's not because they "constantly worry about lawsuits", because as we've see in the past, when they want something, they don't give a rats ass what the costs or implications might be. Again, I think this is just their way of shutting up the RIAA for now. Eventually it will re-surface. -- SIPPhone/Gizmo # 17476200648 / PIMPNET Chatline / Ran by Asterisk & Slackware 10.1. | |

From Wikipedia - "In 1995, Audionet was conceived with the idea of broadcasting live games and events through the Internet. With a single server and ISDN line,[22] Audionet became Broadcast.com in 1998. By 1999, Broadcast.com had grown to 330 employees and annual revenues close to $100 million.[23] With the stock market in the midst of the Dot-com boom, Broadcast.com was acquired by Yahoo!, and Cuban received about $5.04 billion in Yahoo! stock." -- What's certain about Darwinism is that it would take less time for (1) a single-celled organism to evolve into a human being through mutation and natural selection than for (2) Darwinists to admit they have no proof of (1) - Ann Coulter | |

| PR damage control Google should intend in eliminating competitors, not tie themselves in bad PR.
YouTube became popular for what it was; a place to upload random content and to a certain extent distribute pirated copyrighted content.
YouTube will become another AOL portal very soon. Shamefully, Google took it in at a very high price. | |

| If Google's smart it can counter this legally by taking best measure to ensure that copywritten information is not submitted. It does this by screening uploaded content AND offering its own set of content (at no charge, ad supported) that has been approved by the original artists. Other measures to ensure that their content can't be downloaded without paying for it would also counter the legality issues.
Now obviously smart users know how to get videos from YouTube. Flash isn't the best choice to use. But there are other ways to prohibit downloading. There are some sites where I could grab the audio but no video, even though the video played fine when streamed. There were some sites where no matter what tool I used or what process I did, I just could not grab the stream.
Google just has to play it smart, and YouTube can still be as popular as it is now. | |

| Re: It won't affect it Actually I don't think clips are. As long as you don't go over a certain time limit, just like MP3's can be spread around as long as its just an 11 second clip or less (or something like that). Thats also why youtube has limits on size and time, otherwise people would put entire tv shows on there. | |

| I thought this was covered... On open systems like this I thought there was already a precedent to handle copyright violations.
I thought that as long as the service responds by taking the material off-line when approached by copyright holders, they are not liable for the accidental and temporary distribution of copyrighted content uploaded by their users.
Why do they have to try to do something like this? | |

Why do they have to try to do something like this? My last comment on this topic is this. So far, Google has taken a few companies ideas (look at Google Earth for example), and made them great. Google wouldn't have purchased this without a positive gain as the end result. We're talking about the same company who buys dark fiber, and sells "transparent" ad's in their search engine. A company who also gives free e-mail addresses, which also have ad's attached to them (on the side of the message, if you got an e-mail about a car modification, you'll see ad's for car products, or if you get a bill for your Vonage service, you'll see ad's for other VoIP providers when you open the message). They are getting paid bigtime, and this popular site is just the "cream of the crop" move for them. Call them stupid, but this is going to get bigger, and you can bet on that. -- SIPPhone/Gizmo # 17476200648 / PIMPNET Chatline / Ran by Asterisk & Slackware 10.1. | |

A little familiarity with the subject matter before dittoheads spout off would be nice around this place. Since when has the RIAA used logic? They've sued their own customers, tried to introduce a bill that allowed hacking into PCs they believed to be used for P2P (But was removed), quietly introduced a rootkit into their cds, screwed over their own artists time and again (Besides royalties the 98 DRM also screwed artists on rights ownership), restricted internet radio to the point where it's a shell of it's former self, lobbied congress to enact DRM to the point where you can't breathe because it's restrictive. Did I mention they tried to jack the price of individual I-Tune songs to $1.29 with the future intention of $2.59?? Hopefully this is informative enough for you.
RIAA cares about control, nothing else. Screw enhancing their music, they want you paying their price for music and if they see something as a threat you can be sure they'll go after it.
Youtube itself is one site becoming the new revolution away from turning into a $1.6 billion bath for google. | |
