So Viacom, with its cohorts Disney etc., are launching an action against YouTube.
Well I say BOO HOO to Viacom! I shed no tears for them at all.
YouTube is perhaps the most progressive video-sharing site, and if these anonymous little men insist on pressing their action, then they are pressing it against not just YouTube users, but anyone using the net.
It is clearly an attempt to limit freedom; after all who really cares, other than these petty-minded, if a small video clip of 10 minutes or under is posted for all to see?
Dear me, these people are losing SO much money from this piracy, the mind positively boggles!
I say that if anyone thinks they have copyrighted stuff of theirs uploaded without permission, and they object to that, then I would advise them to press the "Flag" button which is located under every YouTube video: It's EASY!
In my experience, musicians especially are glad to see their work on YouTube. Viewers can hear and see these vids and actually like them enough to go to the store and buy the complete work.
Such videos get to places where they have never been heard, or they are unknown. YouTube helps them to further their interests, not hinder them.
I for one shall note which DVDs, or other media have the Viacom label on them, and not buy them.
LATER:
**You may wish to see the further posts about YouTube, and the anger that they are creating with some very unfair practices manifest.
It may also seem, according to some, that YouTube are the ones at fault when having dealings with companies like Viacom.
