Youtube handing over all records to media company

Thanks, for mentioning it. Time to move to revver and livevideo.

 

smart step of the youtube guys selling it to google.

 

Why the hell would youtube keep logs of that?

The fact is, if youtube never logged everything its users were doing they're would'nt be any bloody data to handover to viacom.
So its googles fault, not viacoms.

 

This comes on the same day that a number of ISPs were instructed by the music industry in the UK that they had to dispatch warning letters to any users of their services caught downloading / torrenting that they faced fines, sanctions, being barred from the Internet and/or legal action if they persisted in their activities.

Some companies have already agreed to process such actions and provide logging of activity. In fact I noticed that fines are already being imposed.

Other ISP companies suggested that they would not do so and were warned that they could face lengthy, costly & damaging legal battles.

The ISP Association has this forthcoming event and look at those taking part to establish the way this is swinging...


"Don’t Let Your Users Get The Better Of You
User-Generated Content event

ISPA has secured an exclusive discount for members to get clued up on the legal issues and latest developments surrounding user-generated content.

The event will take a look at the new challenges faced by ISPs due to the increase of tools and sites that facilitate creation, collaboration, publication by and among users.

Taking place on Friday 19th September the conference will include speakers from Fox Interactive Media, Yahoo!, Orange Home and the Internet Watch Foundation, to name just a few.

Full details can be found on the ISPA Calendar page"

Well, it won't be that much harmful, in the 80's there was no internet and no one had original music tapes / VHS tapes / computer tapes. XD I have 200 backup Amstrad CPC diskettes and there was no internet for dwing them. Renting shops will just florish again, in mid 90's there we're, in my 60 door street, three rental shops, two for music and one for only PSX games. Rent the disc, copy it, return it. It won't change, ISP's, RIAA, discographical companies or whoever the fuck can say word but they cant stop piracy.

 

Hope it takes down Google. Also viacom will use it not just to see who broke the law (mainly to see who uploaded the videos), it will also be used to study video trends, etc.

 

Most UK ISP's have been doing this for years now. A friend of mine got several warning letters from NTL for downloading movies and eventually kicked off the service. He was silly though, he had a collection of over 500 DVDs which he torrented and seeded.

Back when I first got broadband I got a letter from BT who got a complaint from Symantec for me downloading Norton lol. Crapped myself and went out and bought a legit copy right away.

 

Yeah, not saying this has not already been happening, but merely that another wave of instructions and warnings is being issued. I also realise that piracy is pretty much here to stay. The moment someone produced something 'genuine' some other bugger came along and made 'fakes'. Back in the day it was fake coinage & currency, but now it is almost anything & everything!

However, if the music / film industry start gunning for individuals again it might result in some very costly fines for certain individuals. The fact that the ISPs and selected Websites are being directly asked to hand over logs is a clear indication that they are preparing for further action!

Baton down the hatches!

 

if the internet becomes controlled it's going to stop being fun, really. I long the days of the wild west

 

"This is the end, my only friend the end"

 

we need a new type of network, uncontrollable by default.

Anyone know that the Spore creature editor has a built in Youtube uploading service in it?

I wonder if this will affect it in any way.

 

:lol::lol:

The Doors :icon_bigg

 

What I truly love in their blurb is the statement 'This would not have been possible without the thousands of donations made to us' (or words to that effect). Hey, yeah guys you kind of got the point the music / software & film industry are trying to make then lol - oh the irony!

 

Took me a minute... but :lol: . Good stuff.


Anyways, its going to be pretty crazy if Youtube/Google get sued into oblivion. Just one step closer to the destruction of net neutrality (and no amount of online prostitutes targeting virgins will be able to stop it).

 

It could be a good thing if Google fight back and things go their way...

 

Where do you think the income comes from to pay for things like YouTube? Google uses it to target it's advertising services. Of course they're going to track that kind of data.
