Google: YouTube 'Completely Sustained By Pirated Content' - GoFuckYourself.com

"Before it bought online video service YouTube, employees of Google Inc. believed YouTube's business was risky because it relied on pirated content and recommended pursuing a different strategy, newly released documents showed Thursday."

Who was saying illegal tubes will last? If Youtube gets skewered this could easily create a domino effect.
Viacom will get Google on this, there is no doubt.

heh, i looked at the last few pages and did not see a post on this, apparently released today (thursday) but Google is going to take a beating..how severe is anyone's guess.

The repercussions could be HUGE.

Google also owns Google Videos - there is some interesting stuff on there, too. It is very similar to Youtube Videos.

Unless they completely change the laws Google doesnt have a chance, these new docs show they actually ADMIT to using pirated material from Viacom! haha

copyright law is copyright law and i think we are going to see some major movement on this issue in the next few months. They have now admitted to not paying royalties or having any kind of license for the content for years...

Cash · 04-15-2010, 10:56 PM

youtube is a mockery when it comes to copyright ... everyone puts whatever they want there, movies, music video clips, concerts, etc.

A YouTube spokesman responded to the release of the documents Thursday, saying, "It's revealing that Viacom is trying to litigate this case in the press. These documents aren't new. They are taken out of context and have nothing to do with this lawsuit."

Quote:

YouTube and Google contend that Viacom employees themselves were releasing videos on YouTube to generate buzz for their shows and to reach new audiences.

as i pointed out the last time some gfy idiot pointed to this news and claimed it was the death nail to the google case

viacomm is taking half the conversation and attempting to paint it as if it proof

for example the internal communication where the google employee asserted YouTube's business "is completely sustained by pirated content."

has a response that viacom employees themselves were releasing videos on "YouTube to generate buzz for their shows and to reach new audiences" and that there was no way to tell the difference between those legitimate uploads and the infringing ones since to make it look like a "grassroots fan based support" they did so under fake user accounts.

and that all before google can make the arguement that "quest crew is the greatest check out orquestra as proof" is legitimate fair use of commentary.

the fact that viacomm must use bogus one sided arguements in the press does not bode well for chance of winning.

also don't forget that viacomm doesn't produce almost nothing inhouse everything is simply content licienced for distribution. so the original production company "randy jackson production" and their promotion companies "2 much hype" could also be submitters trying to create buzz.

only a world class moron would believe that half of the conversation deliberately ignoring the legiitimate answer is going to be the bases of a win

idiot look at the transcripts of debates when the DMCA was being argued in the congress.

This type of "accidental" censorship is exactly the reason that safe harbor provision was put in the law to counter the "takedown request"

remember before the DMCA the content stayed up until copyright holder went to court and got a court order to remove it.

something had to balance the potential censorship effect of letting the copyright holder pull down content without valid court ruling independently verifying that the take down was infact legitimate.

with licienced content, the non public contract. hidden from googles legal team would determine weather or not randy jackson production company or their publicity company could submit the videos to build a buzz for their show (they were the actual content creators nor viacomm)

google would have no way of knowing the context of that contract
the cost of attempting to find out would be insanely cost prohibitive (lawyers having to review the contracts before every single submission)
and blanket ban would act as the type of censorship the safe harbor provision was specifically put in place to prevent

ya i was wondering why they dont blacklist torrent sites from the rankings. torrents usually rank higher for most porn searches.

google doesn't care about copyright/dmca - only ad revenue.

i will make it simple for you

safe harbor good abuse of takedown request bad

DMCA is a balanced act.

fact viacomm own lawyers sent takedown request for content that they later acknowledge was fair use/legitimately authorized for submission

fact viacomm want google to police the submission even though google would be an order of magnitude more likely to mistakenly take down legitimate content (because they don't have access to the contracts)

fact viacomm knows this because the second part of the "evidence" points these problems out

fact viacomm is covering up those documents to get press

fact that type of cover up does not work in a court of law

fact viacomm is going to lose unless they have real proof that google knowingly infringed on copyright material.(which this is obviously not)

Okay, grasp firmly and pull your head from your ass. Viacom is going after Google. Do you understand this concept? They don't give a crap about safe harbor laws, we are talking VIACOM lawyers here. They will win and they will collect. Period.

This is going to happen, and it will happen relatively soon.

so your stupid enought to think the laws don't apply simply because viacom has lawyers

if the safe harbor provision makes googles actions legal
no amount of money spent on lawyers is going to win

because the act is legal idiot

btw another proof of the censorship effect of the DMCA

Quote:

I report all the tube pages that rank above me in search (yeah, I know I don't own them but they don't know that). They rename them but at the same time the script changes the tags and URL, problem solved from my end :P

of the two possiblities the safe harbor provision getting strengthened to maximize the damages for false request

or safe harbor being invalidated and the already abusive censorship being made an order of magnitude worse

i would bet the former is going to happen rather than the later.

Odin · 04-16-2010, 09:38 AM

So how does the judge determine which clips were uploaded by viacom themselves to award damages? Although there are some smoking guns I have a feeling there won't be a definitive judgement.

you have the reading ability of a 1st grader

you actually quoted the above with your insanely stupid response.

1/2 the conversation presented as "evidence" is not nore will it ever be a smoking gun especially when the hidden half proves that claims are wrong.

viacom and licienee uploaded/fair use authorizes clips are a defence not a complaint they don't get damages

btw viacom admitted to 50 mistakes themselves and courts recognized multiple that they "honestly believed" were infringement

http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2007/02...et-let-us-know

they allow youtube to claim that their actions are legal and fully protected by the safe harbor because they can't tell the difference until AFTER the takedown process has run it course.

btw it not just youtube who are making such arguements but free speech organizations

http://www.eff.org/press/archives/2010/04/12

unlike the business vs thieves light that has been used to cloud the rulings

this one doesn't have that ability

independent free speech organizations are standing up for google

which means it

greedy corporation vs peoples right to express themselves

Maybe not stupid if the amount sued for would be the amount used to grant "treble damages". I don't know how that works in all the different states/federal court; but
if certain conditions are met in a lawsuit the judge can triple the amount the jury
awarded.

Also if you don't put an amount you will at least have to explain to the
jury how much money is involved and then the jury may calculate triple damages and
reduce their award so that it comes out "right" when treble damages are applied meaning
you got less then you could have.

Not saying this is the case, but just wondering myself how that works.
