YouTubers FUCKED!

I just think its a load of bs!
You have less and less freedom in "western countries" then you have in communist countries (such as china).
Maybe thats why they are going to be the next superpowers because of the amount of bs lawsuits which is happening in US and Europe!
If you want freedom internet just go to China, yeah they montior and filter the internet but as long you keep investing the $ they dont care, so in effect yeah money talks!

What you said.

Excellent points!

Viacom is concerned only with its own commerical properties, the uploading of which to such sites as You Tube is a clear violation of both licencing agreements and current copyright law.

The person who posesses a DVD or VHS tape does NOT "own" the movie; that person has only been granted very specific licence rights to THAT particular copy.

Little known and even less understood fact.

Even home-made videos, unless specifically stated to be public domain carry with them copyright by the creator.

Yes I agree

Err...maybe I am side tracking here, but how does YouTube filter adult content, i.e. remove uploaded videos or prevent uploading of videos that have adult (or blatant porn) content?

I figure if someone complained about a video, sure, youtube admin would check and then remove it.

However, at the point of upload or shortly after, is there a way to filter or screen the video content for adult material (e.g. with a script of some sort of software program) ? Short of having a human reviewer look over each and every video as a content filter that is, which just doesn't seem practical or cost-effective.

Along the same lines, I wonder how it would be possible for YouTube to check for copyrighted material in each and every uploaded video WITHOUT a human reviewer?

Of course, "impractical" or "not cost effective" will not be a good defense in court, I suppose
