1. Comment - Viacom Files Landmark Copyright Case Against Google, YouTube

   (Mar 14, 2007 - 4:49 PM)

   this is like suing the internet company because someone uploaded illegal content on Google.. i can see it now... viacom tries to say that aol created their isp specifically with the intent for people to upload those videos... it should not be youtubes job to enforce the law.. it is police who should do this when contacted to do so by viacom... then with a court order have that content removed.. and then if need will be sue the user.. .... this is like sueing gun makers for killing people.. youtube should be required to inform users of the law and the consequences .. if people are smart enough to upload this content then they are smart enough to face the consequences... however i do not believe they should start suing every user.. this content being provided in no way has a negative effect on viacom.. if so i would like to see them to prove that a person who otherwise would have bought they content choose instead to get the experience through youtube.. a compromise should be reached.. allowing approved content to be displayed and any non complete material such as clips... all of which should be considered free promotion... the future is just going to bring more of this and unless there is a desire for endless lawsuits they will eventually have to embrace free digital media and change their primary source of revenue to an alternative source. let us be realistic they have every right to sue the users violating the law however we cant have that ridiculous behavior and neither can we have a rampant revolt ... we must compromise.

2. Comment - EU Consumer Protection Targets iTunes

   (Mar 12, 2007 - 3:03 PM)

   the problem is these nations believe it is privilege for itunes to sell in their country so they must do as they say if they wish to stay.
   a correct statement would be "itunes has right to sell however they want to sell. if consumers do not like the way itunes works then they can go elsewhere." the problem is these nations act as though itunes is making their citizens shop on itunes. the people choose to shop on itunes so therefore they can choose to stop. if they want to use an ipod then use itunes simple as that. take it or leave it they are not forcing anything on anyone. it is a free market let us not forget this and create a socialist state horizontaly. as for returning digital material, would this not create a group of individuals who will then download, copy, remove drm, and then return?.... would not a better suggestion be to require itunes to inform their customers that songs purchased are for ipod only?... should that not be a simple answer?
