Google Is Being Sued Behind Youtube  | | I would never want Youtube to change. Although, I know that there is a lot on there that Google does not have the right to broadcast. I love being able to go on there and find just about everything that I am looking for in visual entertainment, both past and present. I love to see a lot of the old sitcoms and videos that came out when I was a child. I like to see funny commercials and rare interviews and footage from my favorite celebrities. But if Viacom, inc has it's way, that might all end. what is your favorite thing to watch on Youtube? And what is the best way this problem can be solved to please everyone involved. Especially me, LOL.

| | 2. irdsm1 (235) | 2 years ago | I'm not surprised. I do think the Google corporation has done a very good job at keeping copyright off their pages. It is very hard, I would imagine, and lots of little things will always slip through the cracks. I don't like that copyright stuff isn't allowed...I even have broken the no copyright rule myself so far on my first video (copyrighted music) and while they may not do everything they can to get rid of the copyrighted material I believe they make a sufficient effort so that it is legal. Maybe they let some things slip through on purpose even, but they have, in my opinion, gone beyond their legal obligations. They are not responsible for what is posted, it is the users' files. I believe they should be left alone for the same reason programs like kazaa and limewire are allowed to still exist: it is the users material, they should not be responsible for it. However, because it is stored on their servers, they are unfortunately legally responsible....

Rozie37 (7142) | 2 years ago | Seems like they would be able to inact some kind of copy guard for copyrighted material. I mean, I would definitely hate it, but there hast to be a way to make it all legal, right.

| | 3. Pigglies (5000) | 2 years ago | I mostly watch music videos of amateur musicians. But I do enjoy watching video clips of shows that are no longer on the air.
My feelings are, if a show isn't on the air anymore and they aren't selling it as a boxed set, it should be allowed to be online and be watched. If I created the show, I would want people to watch it. Plenty of people saw it on TV for free before, why can't we see it for free now online? Either way, if it's off the air those who made it are no longer making money off it. Can't we at least enjoy it?

Rozie37 (7142) | 2 years ago | I do not think that they like the fact that Google is the one making it available to us for free. I think they want them to pay fees for it. The bottom line is usually all about money.

| | 4. fjgamer (377) | 2 years ago | I doubt it'll happen, but if they decide to be very strict on video submissions, 99% of the videos will disappear, and that includes all the awesome music videos out there. I've made a ton of music videos, too!

Rozie37 (7142) | 2 years ago | Youtube will be bunk if they get rid of all of the stuff that they aren't allowed to have. I am not really into all that amateur stuff.

| | 5. morethanamolehill (833) | 2 years ago | Well I am rather torn. I love youtube. But I hate google. This is a company that is just too freakin powerful. Those that gripe about Wal-mart or "BigOIL" profits should take a look at Google. This is a company that has grown so huge, so quickly. They aren't like a GM or GE that has been around for years, had ups and downs, Has a huge network And Actually produces something tangible. google is just a couple of guys sitting on a mountain of cash. And their product is basically info and entertainment. Their delivery system was already set up,(phone lines). They have a policy in China of turning in Enemies of the State. Their next goal is storage of your Medical Records. Anyway, As far as the copyright challenges are concerned. First, YT is a 4" wide screen FCOL. It's not like a Hi DEf Big Screen TV or even a regular TV and DVD. Most people would see a bit of a movie and go get the DVD. They should see it as Free Publicty, As long as the person posting the vid is not making money from it. Especially for stuff that has already been seen or that is very old. There are some vids that have scenes from a movie mashed with a popular song. They show creativity and if the person doing it is not after profit, I see no problem. But then what do I know.

morethanamolehill (833) | 2 years ago | I guess I see YT kinda like the Public Library. I have always been a bookworm. If I had to Buy all of the books (and DVDs)that I have checked out from the library, I would be one broke a$$ moron. I don't understand it when I meet someone who has never had a library card. Which is most of the people I know. (I know, I should get a book on English Grammer:)

Rozie37 (7142) | 2 years ago | Well I do not claim to be an expert on the Google background, but I feel that it is safe in saying that some where along the line the two that started Google have had to pay their dues some where. They could have had a search engine before Google that totally bombed. I agree with your comparison of Google to the public library. As much as I like watching things on Youtube, if it is something that I really like, I want to go out and buy it after seeing it on Youtube. So if Viacom, inc. could see Youtube as free publicity, it would really be cool. I also agree with you about the library card issue. That is one of the first things that I do when I move to a new city. I find out where all the cities branches are located and I get a card immediately. I am madly in love with the person who created the concept of the library and I have no idea who that was.
