To everyone that thinks this hurts trees, your an idiot. Google just needs to learn from Nixon’s mistake and burn the tapes.

Yeah… I didn’t think they had the guts to go through with it. I’m sure the judge has seen this before, and had something up his sleeve to give a smack down.

C’mon folks. IP protects big companies (including Google’s trademarks, source code, etc). and small folks, too (independent movie makers, songwriters, recording artists). Google is screwing creative people everywhere by pretending not to know what’s on YouTube. Viacom is putting content online — but it has no real choice but to demand that people not use their stuff without paying for it. If YT gets it free, why will people watch it on Hulu or anywhere else? I have a friend who has recorded three CDs - cost his bands a lot of money - only to find his songs all over the internet the next day. Is that fair?

I have an idea.

Generate pfd´s and on each page use a different set of distorted fonts, with different non standard codes, so when you print it or when you look at it it´s understandable, but when you try to copy-paste you get pure rubbish.

They will have to find out the codes for each page (and they can generate billions of different fonts with different combinations each so font´s do not repeat), or they will have to use humans to translate the info.

As the fonts are distorted, and multiple fonts are used, any OCR will be useless, or really slow.

Proponen que Google entregue los datos de youtube en papel…

To all the people complaining about the waste of paper, and trees.

THIS POST IS ABOUT AN ENTIRELY FICTIONAL SITUATION.

Its meant to be some what amusing or tongue in cheek.

I’m sure Google put money away for any lawsuits that came along when they purchased You Tube. Viacom may be shatting its pants, and therefore suing, because of the diminishing viewers to mtv. I meant who watches it?

What music companies don’t understand, or don’t want to acknowledge is that now the use of the internet is prolific. So is the choice. We no longer need there top 40 hits, we can search for things we like. We no longer need to sit and watch Mtv with its endless repeats, or listen to commercial radio repeating the same 10 songs over and over again.

Instead of coming up with a new way of doing business, they sue people.

The fact that Google removes other types of content has little to do with the safe harbor protection Google claims. There is no requirement in the DMCA that says if you filter for one type of content you’re obligated to filter for copyright infringement. In fact actively policing for copyrighted material, as Viacom etc would like, may actually remove the safe harbor protection. Assuming Google is correct and they were covered by the safe harbor provision of the DMCA, they were acting against there own interest by acceding to the demands of Viacom and others that they start filtering for copyrighted material.

A more viable alternative would be for Google to deliver the data in a digital form which is not searchable. This would most likely mean splitting the data into *many* individual zips delivered on seperate systems (floppies, disks, etc.)

Let’s see how Viacom handles billions of individual, encrypted emails with zips attached….

“intellectual property” = “imaginary property” != property. No property, no theft. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, freedom-hater. Information will be free, and you will be left behind.
