So, is anyone else following this story? That Viacom sent YouTube a list of 100,000 "copyright violations", and demanded youTube take them down.
Which youTube did. It turns out a lot of them (about 600 identified and validated so far) were totally not Viacom's copyrighted items. They just ran a search on words they claim, and sent all the results as "copyright violations". youTube not only removed the videos, but those users who posted more than X "violations" had their youTube account canceled, and an email letter sent telling them why. Already, people are talking about a class action against Viacom for this. Not to mention the ill-will this is going to generate for them, in my opinion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:226885 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
