Comments on: Viacom Drops a $1 Billion Nuke on Google http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/03/13/5217/ Startup and Technology News Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:24:56 -0800 hourly 1 By: Effi http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/03/13/5217/comment-page-4/#comment-3087023 Effi Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:08:43 +0000 http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/03/13/5217/#comment-3087023 As PJ correctly points out, one of the arguments against YouTube being a host revolves around the transcoding of videos into FLV format. I don’t see how the traditional definition of a “host” as contemplated when the DMCA was drafted would apply to a service that formats content. Essentially, YouTube is directly involved in the infringement not only because it has a significant financial incentive but because it directly facilitates infringement through the prepartion of the content for display. <a href="http://www.apnaciti.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Citi</a> As PJ correctly points out, one of the arguments against YouTube being a host revolves around the transcoding of videos into FLV format.

I think the whole copyright thing is getting ridiculous. It seems a company will go after another one not doing them harm out of principal. They seem to have this sort of superiority complex which makes these copyright laws not about money but simply power. I compare this to a penis measuring contest where Google and Viacom are arguing over who has the bigger dick when in actual fact they are both small. I think this whole you tube thing is ridiculous.
