| 485033 | 2006-09-15 22:18:00 | Seems that the RIAA and the FCC (US) are both getting a little hot about U Tube (www.youtube.com) allowing copywritten and licensed material to be shared on the internet. This means that the producers are losing a lot of $$...yeah!..Sure! I personally think it's a lot of free PR and advertising for the vids they show...but what's your opinion? |

| 485034 | 2006-09-15 22:40:00 | Oh well, it is not our fault/problem (my view) if we watch illegal videos that have been uploaded by others... I feel it is the same as viewing any webpage... | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 485035 | 2006-09-15 23:16:00 | Some late news . . . . . There is a federal law that shields online services from liability for copyright violations its customers may commit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . so why all the fuss over Universal Music CEO Doug Morris's claim that the video-sharing sites are violating Universal's copyrights? "The poster child for (user-generated media) sites are MySpace and YouTube," Morris told investors Wednesday at a conference in Pasadena . "We believe these new businesses are copyright infringers and owe us tens of millions of dollars . How we deal with these companies will be revealed shortly . " Leaving aside for a moment the fact that Universal has almost certainly benefited from the publicity given its artists by their grainy and monophonic presence on YouTube, Universal has no legal cause to sue the upstart video sites . YouTube and ilk are protected by the so-called "online service provider safe harbors" created by Congress as part of the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) . Specifically . . . . . . . Section 512(c) protects commercial Web-hosting services from being held responsible for the posts of their customers . So Morris's comments are really just so much meaningless sabre rattling, an empty threat meant to benefit Universal in its negotiations with YouTube and other outfits like it . |

| 485037 | 2006-09-16 00:55:00 | It's crap. Fair use is still fair use - it's not like the quality on YouTube is that great. It's been in the news for months that they were sending cease and desists to kids posting videos of themselves dancing to songs. |

| 485038 | 2006-09-16 00:59:00 | I have been collecting good youtube videos . The next thing will be to get little thumbnail images besides the thread names . You can do that but I don't know how to run the scripts . Youttube videos ( . stuffucanuse . com/xmb/forumdisplay . php?fid=67" target="_blank">xmb . stuffucanuse . com) So I am counting on Youtube being around for a long while yet . |

| 485040 | 2006-09-16 06:07:00 | All you have to do is take their code, thats next to the video, and stick it on your site. My board has flash enabled automatically, so I just put the href with some flash tags either side. I think youtube is in for the long haul, there were rumours of other companies gong to buy them out. |

| 485041 | 2006-09-16 06:32:00 | I think there is a firefox extension for downloading the videos to your hard drive in case they get taken down. I don't use it myself, so I can't remember what it is called, but my friend was talking about it a couple of days ago | Greven (91) | ||
