i swear these people are just plain stupid.i mean why would anyone make it their business to see youtube destroyed and failed.its wrong,i mean who cares about copyrights as long as their not airing the show by themselves or something.its not really stealing.its posting things for enjoyment of the people.also,viacom should thank youtube because they are advertising their shows and junk.and i think its a pile of bs if they think they can send millions of people to jail for watching a video.

I don’t understand how a free and democratic system can suffer protecting large corporations against technological progress by attacking its consumers.

The rights of the people should always preceed the rights of a company.

If the Public do not take control of old TV shows, commercials etc they get lost.
Countless programs from the 50s, 60s and 70s have been lost over time, destroyed by TV stations, or simly lost in accidents like the recent fires at Universal Studios.
The studios greedily hang on to this rare material and eventually lose it. Thank god, out of the millions of people on earth some people are mindful enough to save and store this material and share it with us.
I put to you that if any free to air programs have incorporated advertising, then it becomes public domain. The advertisers have paid for it.

If I have seen a TV show it has gone into my brain. I own it. I had to be brainwashed by the commercials to see it, I earned it.

Music Publishers and Major Studios are on the brink of their downfall. The thinking public is now capable of much more engaging material. If they think they can send us ALL to jail there will be no one left to buy their outdated and mindless garbage.

WE DID NOT SIGN ANY CONTRACTS WITH THEM. They forced this stuff on us, and ripped off the players and creators in the process. They made up their own ridiculous copyright rules with the power of the almighty dollar.
The law is there to protect the people, NOT THE MONEY.

The top brass at google must have shit for brains if they didn’t
realise that youtube was infringing copyright laws but that is
why google paid a hansome price for youtube is because
they thought they could get away with it and of course google
could of filtered the copyright material on youtube but what
does’t surprize me is that google are not prepared to take the
rap but are more than willing to drop all there users into a
meat grinder as there is the technology for google to save
youtube and it is in the form of Blinkx a company that can
tag copyrighted material for before it is seen so the obvious
solution for google would be to either use Blinkx.com technology
or just buy the company.
