The Decimation of YouTube Continues
In going back through some of the music videos I’ve posted on this site I found that many have been removed due to alleged copyright infringement issues. Turns out that Viacom has demanded that YouTube remove more than 100,000 videos.
I'm just wondering how long YouTube will remain viable if it continues enforcing copyright provisions in such a ridiculous manner. As aptly noted over at The Learning Curve, pretty soon the only thing left on YouTube will be infomercials, movie trailers, and home videos of kids singing karaoke.
Everyone who still thinks it’s was good idea to buy YouTube please step forward. … err, not so fast there, Google.
Oh well, nature abhors a vacuum.
YouTube is primarily vapid, anyhow.
The interesting videos are usually the unsigned bands or the ranting teenagers. Let Viacom cry like a record label. Another reason to hate big business.
I’m adding this comment to one of my own blog posts just to test functionality of CoComment.
