Comments on: Why I “Have it in for ” Gootube http://blogmaverick.com/2007/03/01/why-i-have-it-in-for-gootube/ the mark cuban weblog Wed, 23 May 2012 01:59:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: life http://blogmaverick.com/2007/03/01/why-i-have-it-in-for-gootube/#comment-29664 Mon, 16 Apr 2007 00:26:59 +0000 http://blogmaverick.wordpress.com/2007/03/01/why-i-have-it-in-for-gootube/#comment-29664 I agree with Mr. Cuban – these mega-corporations always target those that cannot fight back. The RIAA is using the judicial system in a manner where they are not for the good of the world; they are for the good of themselves, and they are just showing us \’how strong we are\’. There are a lot of wrongs in this world, but by adding more, you will NEVER achieve right

Now let\’s take a look at the entertainment industry. What are their downloading sites? Are they easy to use? Is the product any good? Are their prices reasonable for the product?

Oh, no such site exists….

The enteretainment business has no one to blame but themselves, because when other people build what the people want, they will come.

It seems that the trend on the web (for quite some time now) is to exploit the content of others in order to create a captive audience, monetize traffic, and when all is said and done – build a brand on the back of others. To me, there\’s something that\’s just not right about that. Honestly, when all is said and done, Google, including search (any many, many others) are nothing without the content of others. Content providers need to realize this and start taking advantage of it.

I\’m getting really sick of all the digg/link bait going on out in the blogosphere.

They really should just embrace copyright holders and allow more direct video purchases similar to iTunes.

The sad thing is that in the midst of the copyright war the smaller artists are getting hurt.

This solution/service has really become poor since the acquisition. I don\’t even use it anymore…

Living in Austin – there are a lot of \”little guys\” trying to \”make it big\”…these are the people who suffer from piracy online – they perform for the love of what they do – but they deserve to get paid too!

Youtube is not doing anything illegal. The DMCA is very specific about what a service provider like Youtube should do. I know you think Youtube should do more to police content before it is uploaded, but from a strictly legal perspective, Youtube is doing what our laws say it should do.

In order to take this away from Youtube, you\’d need to redo the DMCA, which could easily end up killing Yahoo, Hotmail, MySpace, Facebook, and a host of other sites which also have users uploading copyrighted material. How would you rewrite the DMCA without nuking all these other companies?

I know you think that it is easy to identify copyrighted material. But it is not. It\’s very very hard. I know it seems easy to search for \”madonna\”, but if you filter that, users will post it under \”mad0nna\” instead. It\’s a never ending stream of work. I\’m not saying that you shouldn\’t try to filter this out, but the DMCA is clear that a service provider is not liable for the content posted by its users for good reason.

Copy what you want. View what you want. Share what you want. Even though it\’s the wild west in certain ways, that doesn\’t mean all copyright laws should go out the window.
