Dear everyone, If I may channel Penn and Teller for a bit, Copyright Infringement is B.S. A while back I had a bunch of Roseanne clips on Youtube that got deleted for copyright infringement. But I've since changed my ways and have been using my Youtube account exclusively for uploading videos of me playing guitar, pretty harmless right? Well, today I decided to record a really long song, 11:23 in length to be exact, and was very disappointed to find out that Youtube no longer lets ANYBODY upload clips longer then 10 minutes, because they are trying to cut down on these episodes of TV shows showing up on the site. It is very frustrating for me, how can such a large amount of people just screw up so badly? What is Viacom thinking, suing Youtube for a BILLION dollars? Wow, you got more exposure to your products, alert the police immediately. There is no way that Youtube has cost them a billion dollars in damages, just simply impossible. I will never believe it until the president of Viacom shows up at my house with some real, easy to understand figures that show that they are going in the toilet thanks to Youtube. In fact, I challenge you to send me some proof of Youtube stealing away their money. I am a 19 year old male in California, I don't go to College, I am a fairly simple person. Show me some evidence that doesn't require a lawyer to understand you are losing a substantial amount of income thanks to a website that shows flash video clips. I just don't buy it. Like I mentioned before, I had clips up on Youtube of the show 'Roseanne', among others, that got deleted at the request of the companies who own the rights to them, and I just can't understand it. Carsey-Werner is well known for their lack of effort they put into the Roseanne DVD releases, every person who owns the DVDs knows that the trivia they throw in is almost all wrong, the episode synopses are sometimes completely incorrect, and the pictures are almost always from the wrong year. So CW can't spend more then 10 minutes putting some real effort into the DVD releases of one of the most popular sitcoms of all time, but when someone uploads a clip of Dan Conner imitating Julia Childs, or Jackie dropping her police pistol, Carsey-Werner is suddenly worried about profit loss! No, my nor anyone elses' Roseanne clips will not be what hurts your DVD sales. The amazingly bad job you do on the releases will be what makes people stop buying the releases. I already don't plan on buying the last 3 seasons unless they are packed full of Special Features. Tangent aside, now I can't upload my video because people wanted to watch old TV shows that aren't on the air anymore. It just makes too much sense. Maybe one of these days, these companies will wake up and realize that people don't watch these clips to hurt them, try to follow me here, they enjoy the show and want to watch it at their own leisure. Nobody is TRYING to hurt Viacom, although I think somebody should considering the garbage they put on TV and call "entertainment", The Real World anyone? Sincerely, DJ
