Youtube erases 29,549 clips

Filed in archive Newsdesk 2.0 by S.M. Schrama on October 20, 2006

When Google recently bought Youtube a lot of people said it would not survive because of copyrighted material on the site. Today Reuters announces that Youtube erased 29,549 clips after complaints from several Japanese media companies.

The group, which represents 23 media companies including TV networks and movie distributors, said it would ask YouTube to set up screening and other measures to block postings of unauthorized files. It also called on Internet users not to post video clips in violation of copyright laws.(Reuters)

Nothing wrong with that I think. I see no evil in Youtube, but if there's copyrighted material and the rightful owner asks to remove it, that's fine.

To download those clips is harmless. They bring tremendous joy to millions. What are these companies DOING with the material? Nothing. It's just sitting there gathering dust. What these Japanese companies have their eye on is M O N E Y. And, what are they doing owning all this American TV?

I still think Google made a blunder buying Youtube.
