Netherlands is now the home of some of the best anty piracy precedents - first they had landmark mininova decision, and then this.
Tnaflix, empflix, empornium, puretna are some of the worst offenders and they're based in Netherlands, ripe for a lawsuite and huge fines. Any one there willing to try?
The whole GFY/YT clips arguement is ridiculous. If YT is finally forced to go 100% legal, only those clips approved by rightholders will remain and get posted at GFY from that moment on - until that we have to guess what we post here from YT is fair use, not really having a chance to know for sure (clip can be both infringing or approved by rightholder with equal probability given the current state of things). But even if it is an infringement it is so minor compared to what's going on at real piracy forums it's not even funny.
And when they're forced to go 100% legal, none here except maybe for several idiots is going to complain that not all of the clips that were previously available can be posted at GFY now.
