YouTube: The Beginning of the End...

Hm i am gonna say its a money thing since I bet Viacom feels it is losing some....alas I have nothing to back that up with :(. And violations huh hm oh ya there was a case about a woman sueing Youtube for invasion of privacy for everytime someone showed a clip of her having an affair on a beach with a man. Apparently the court ruled they would be fined each time it was showed and poor Youtube couldn't control it. Lucky Youtube didn't get forced to close over this....go Google! I dunno if they are still being sued but it is possible. Of course the woman shouldn't have been cheating in the first place and being famous gets you caught in the act faster hehe.

Well I guess the guys who sold YouTube were the smart ones, they got out of it before the suing ensued. Hah!

Youtube is where it's at because it doesn't have an approval queue.

That's the thing about reading the whole post, lol. I understood fully how illogical a suggestion as you can see. I frequently am on the dang site and know the ridiculous amount of uploads there are. So, yeah, lol. :joker:

A Lawyer from Viacom has an article describing their legal position in the Washington Post...

Our Case Against YouTube: washingtonpost.com

Well, seeing as how youtube reaps benefits from selling the traffic to advertisers, then of course they deserve to be sued, that's a given. As for them being able to control the content, I remember them even saying once they were working on a way to prevent copyright material from going up, so they should have the ability to control it on the site, which the article states. It looks bad for them, but we already knew that, lol.

Nice link Len.

hmm.. i am eager to know what happens in the end.... imma give constant look on this thread... :D
