Webomatica: Viacom Sues Google And YouTube for $1B

  • Mike · 2 years ago
    Here's hoping the EFF gets involved.

    Seriously though, this "You" stuff is starting to bother me...whenever I view a pretty cool video, there are all of these video replies in the "related" sidebar...and they're all videos of people saying "hey, that was a cool video." wtf? These people are too good for textual comments?

    Well, this is why I'm too good for textual comments on YouTube, heh. ;)

    heh, actually I think the YouTube comments are even sillier than those in that cartoon ...

    If you use the content of other people, you have to value their work - YouTube can't just publish songs and videos without giving credit / cash to the creator of the material.

    Hi run dogg, no disagreement there. In any case, this will be interesting to see develop. I am guessing YouTube / Google will be signing a very large content deal with Viacom soon.

    Thanks for visiting and commenting!
