Can YouTube survive with video sharing restrictions?
Reply Contact YouTube, the popular video sharing website owned by Google, is facing a $1bn lawsuit from rival media owner Viacom for copyright infringement over the use of unauthorised clips from TV shows, films and other entertainment produced by the US media conglomerate. The colossal lawsuit could represent a watershed moment in YouTube’s history and the end of its fledging video advertising service. YouTube has also argued that the lawsuit has serious repercussions for internet users all over the world. It says the legal action “threatens the way hundreds of millions of people legitimately exchange information, news, entertainment, and political and artistic expression”. If Viacom is successful can YouTube continue to flourish? Does the lawsuit threaten our freedom to roam and interact on the internet unhindered by new laws? • • 29 May 2008 11:45 AM In reply to Audio Android Joined on 03 Jun 2008 Posts 296 RE: Can YouTube survive with video sharing restrictions?
