I come back from a drunken weekend and suddenly half the music vids in my favourites are unavailable. Ghey.

I know Viacom dropped the hammer on them and ordered them to remove like 100,000+ of vides

Mike Semen · 02-06-2007, 05:03 AM

Ok, I think this may have something to do with it:

Correct.

They said that since Google is making billions, it's time to share the wealth.

right or wrong, copywritten material is the only reason it ever got as big as it did. Once people can't go there to see the things they want to see anymore, they'll stop going.

Miguel T · 02-06-2007, 07:42 AM

Everything is fine on this end.

lorine · 02-07-2007, 09:04 AM

Nothing wrong here. Youtube is working great,as usual. I think it`s one of the best web sites on the Internet.

Yeah but it seems likely that youtube will start placing short pre-roll ads, post-roll ads, etc on certain (i.e. director vids) videos shortly (they announced they will start profit sharing with everyone shortly and made brief mention of 3 second pre-roll ads, etc). With Google's ability to monetize ads I am sure they will reward the big networks handsomely for either allowing or posting content on the website. Still, considering how big networks like Viacom, etc are they may still tell them to fuck off out of fear of change, but I am sure it will increase the quality of legit vids on there.

If I had a warehouse full of stolen "content" the police would arrest me for numerous felonies. Imagine the look on the judges face if my defense was "I can't help what others bring to me"
