YouTube: The Beginning of the End...

Grumble Grumble Grumble

The latest chapter of this high tech soap opera is just started...
Quote:
MTV owner Viacom Inc. said Tuesday it has sued YouTube and its corporate parent Google Inc. in federal court for alleged copyright infringement and is seeking more than $1 billion in damages.
Viacom sues YouTube for $1 billion
Quote:
Viacom said YouTube’s business model, “which is based on building traffic and selling advertising off of unlicensed content, is clearly illegal and is in obvious conflict with copyright laws.”

Viacom said YouTube has avoided taking the initiative to curtail copyright infringement on its site, instead shifting the burden and costs of monitoring the video-sharing site for unauthorized clips onto the “victims of its infringement.”
Viacom sues Google, YouTube for $1 billion - U.S. Business - MSNBC.com

Quote:
"YouTube appropriates the value of creative content on a massive scale for YouTube's benefit without payment or license," Viacom said in its complaint. "YouTube's brazen disregard of the intellectual-property laws fundamentally threatens not just plaintiffs but the economic underpinnings of one of the most important sectors of the United States economy."
Viacom sues Google over YouTube clips | CNET News.com

Since YouTube has long had a marketing policy based on the posting of pirated material, legal challenges are not that surprising... So, any bets on how much time YouTube has left????

Re: YouTube: The Beginning of the End...

=} Everyone Go Download Fast~!!

Don't think other sites won't form.

When something closes, something new opens. Bleh~ Whatever happens happens, its not like I am the one stealing it.

(-_-) No one wants to watch it on TV, end of Story~!

Youtube will be closed, and other Video browsers will grow.

I bet the others are w00ting for it~!!

Re: YouTube: The Beginning of the End...

Its Google we're talking about here. Google will most likely fight this, or it just might bow to their wishes and close youtube, concidering the hit its stock took when this was announced: GOOG - Google Inc. - Google Finance

But lets face it, If Youtube falls, another will take its place, and this time it'll be set up in a country that can't be touched by copyright law. 'tis the nature of the interweb

Re: YouTube: The Beginning of the End...

It's kinda like Napster in a sense. Napster fell and other music-sharing sites came like Kazaam. So I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened with YouTube..^___^

Re: YouTube: The Beginning of the End...

While law is obviously being broken here (Money is being made from copyright infringment, how ever 'unintentional'), with that aside for a moment, the way I see it is its free advertising. People aren't going to stop watching their 42"+ tv's for a 450x325 pixel image on a computer monitor. For example, when someone tells me of a band, I search Youtube for a music video by them, and that in turn, influences what music I buy.

The only harm being done here is that money is being made made from copyright infringements, that reason and that reason alone is why Viacom's pissed, they aren't losing money, someones just making money off them, cause god forbid someone steps on their turf, and I SERIOUSLY doubt that Viacom (Owners of MTV, Comedy Network, Paramount Motion Pictures, and slew of other media) actually 'suffered' 1 billion dollars in damages.
