Is it any surprise - copyrighted material and YouTube Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Sat, 21 Oct 2006 08:30:02 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Earlier today news.com had an article about YouTube deleting 30,000 copyrighted videos from their site, but now there's an article in which Youtube tells suing lawyers to go after the individual(s) posting copyrighted material. Is it just me who doesn't understand the value of the $1.65 billion Google purchase (and I'm pretty gungho about the Internet. I worked with MP3 stuff in 1996 and was very excited about the future of that technology. I see a lot of what happened to that technology happening to video technology, I mean really.. MP3.com seems to be an earlier YouTube and look what happened to that site,even while the iPod was crushing every other MP3 player and they got started late. Just as we have the Nano now, we'll have small video cameras with no moving parts.. heck, I've already got a video camera that records directly to smartcard memory media.
Anyway, I'm baffled like I was when Pointcast was offered a billion dollars by Rupert, if anyone at all remembers that - bonus points for anyone who can say what happened with that sale/purchase...
