Crooks vs Jerks. Youtube vs Viacom

by admin on January 19th, 2012

Youtube recently won a landmark case against Viacom. Turns out Viacom not only scraped the bottom of the barrel of morality, but also were kinda big on exploiting the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law. An interesting irony, seeing as they are now, with their own ‘youtube variant’ of Spiked, guilty of virtually everything they accused Youtube of. www.youtube.com and other videos from Jeepersmedia: www.youtube.com Indeed it appears that time and time again these companies are about 10 years behind the technology with folk like the RIAA still functioning in the ‘golden era’ of ‘old media’ where they had a 100 % monopoly on the media, and could charge whatever they wanted for it. -Welcome to the 21st Century-

    Be treated with courtesy, respect and fairness at all times. Viacom did not do this well. Youtube vs Viacom? Youtube will win

    Proactive removal can create a sticky situation if they miss something.

    That said, they don’t sound like they were seeking to limit liability at all costs.

    @Bleakillusion He was listing what shows have had clips uploaded to Youtube by users, but unlike Viacom, the owners of those shows didn’t take the issue to court. Its a comparison of sorts.

    That crazy thing in the background looks like the device Dr. Manhattan built on mars in watchmen.

    I appreciate that you put something cool to look at in the background. I like videos like this bot a lot of times all I have to look is the guy talking and it gets boring fast.
