So apparently Viacom (among others) are suing Google and Youtube for the copyrighted videos that have appeared on the site. Here's a video from the Daily Show where a pretty funny guy, Demetri Martin.....explains the case.
I found that video to be funny...dunno if anyone else did. It's dumb to sue Google/Youtube for the copyrighted videos in my opinion. Youtube has complied by taking off any copyrighted material when there is a complaint....it's just that more and more people post up the videos so it's hard to keep track of it all. The companies should embrace youtube and the technology and work with it. NBC.com streams their t.v. shows and offers special clips and previews on Youtube. It seems like Viacom is just looking to cash in on Google's income. I mean....how much money do they lose when a t.v. show is aired online?
