• I want an embed tag!!!
• One billyun dollars!
• This would have nothing to do with the fact that YouTube has a bigger audience than MTV, and unlike MTV, isn't total and utter kife?
• Meh. Youtube is so 2006. Stage6 is the new hotness.
• kife Word not found in the Dictionary and Encyclopedia. Did you mean: kibe KFE Kefe KAFE Kifie KIFA kif KIFW Some articles that match your query: Flippy (Happy Tree Friends) *cries*
• Stage6 is the new hotness I thought youporn.com (nsfw) was the new hotness?
• kife is the feminine form of kif, also known as hashish.
• Kife. Complete and utter crap. It's a word some friends and I are trying to push. Number five on UrbanDictionary with a bullet, baby! Much more satisfying to say. Say it with me, KIFE. Like a little yelp of displeasure, followed by a sigh of disgust. Nice. --- "Their business model, which is based on building traffic and selling advertising off of unlicensed content, is clearly illegal and is in obvious conflict with copyright laws," the media-entertainment firm said in a statement. I love it when lawyers say stuff like this. "Clearly" and "Obvious" mean anything but. As if YouTube and Google don't have hordes of lawyers of their own, checking out this shit before they go live...
• Teach you to post videos while I'm at work. *shuffles up next to Koko* *purrs*
• - offtopic iceberg ahead- Yay for "Kife". Big chinz to Capitán Renolatero for pushing new words. As I burble on many a time about, I am a teacher. Many of my track-suited charges are looking for the new "cool" word for "cool" or "shit". Here´s an experiment. I will introduce "Kife " and report on uptake. Its not a swearword so I can immediately start using it and its a bit new. Maybe Croydon will become "home to Kifeness". In which case, all praise to the Captain.
• So, right now a whole bunch of expensive lawyers are thinking up a whole bunch of expensive reasons why youtube ISN'T guilty of "massive copyright infringement". 'If blank-blank-blank-blank, you must acquit,' you know? Wonder what they'll come up with... I hope it's something good- I'd hate to have to start going elsewhere for my massive copyright infringement needs.
• From what I understand, this is part of the game plan. What they do is settle with the offended party and make an amicable relationship. Not sure exactly how it works, but apparently this is why Google bought YouTube. And I say God Tube is the next best thing. Remember those clowns. Do ya? Huh?
• AND I SAY GOOD RIDDANCE! To Viacom? If Viacom had brain one they would jump so fast into bed with YouTube the sheets would singe.
• Considering YouTube keeps a count of how many times a video has been viewed, will Viacom seek a deal which entitles them to the ad revenues from their stuff which has been uploaded without their consent? And if so, will they then employ people to illegally post their stuff on there, so they can get more ad revenue? And will it all end in some black hole extinction event when everyone starts doing this, for every single video on there?
• This makes exactly as much sense as Viacom suing the power company for copyright infringement. Since by providing electricity, they've enabled people with the ability to infringe, despite the fact that they haven't performed any of the infringement themselves.
• Not "exactly" as much sense, no, but it's still a boneheaded play. They'd be better off doing what other networks are doing and using YouTube as an utterly free way to promote their shows.
• I don't know what any of this about. On the other hand "Some articles that match your query: Flippy (Happy Tree Friends)" is the funniest thing i've read this week. Thank u pete.
• Someone on Marketplace this evening mentioned that most of Viacom's competitors have signed deals with YouTube to provide copyrighted content, that Viacom had been in talks with YouTube to do the same but that those talks had broken down recently. Considering the rather unwieldy amount of the suit (and the concomitant unlikeliness of actually garnering that amount in court, unless YouTube has started selling tobacco and no one told me), were I a wagering man I might suspect that Viacom was looking to persuade, rather than litigate.
• Hi Fes.
• Hey kids, Fes is back!
• *pokes this 'Fes' with stick, jumps back in wild excitement, flinging hands in air* Hoo-AAAAaaaAAAA!!! OOK OOK!! HAAAAA-HAAAA-HAA!!!
• *tips hat*
• Fes! Yay! *hugs Fes*
• *Checks what colour socks are* *Pulls down pants cuffs to hide them*
• Wh00t! Prepare the fatted kitfisto! Fes is back!
• Bush sucks.
• Oh hush. Here, have a cookie.
• C'mon, don't derail the thread on my account. But Hi everyone :) Nice to be back, and I hope not to be as snitty as I was a few months ago. Bush sucks. That's IT! I'm leaving!
• *Fills pipe with YouTubAcco, admires well-dressed, vaguely familiar stranger, queues up old Robin of Sherwood episode on Quicklist*
• *hates when goes home and misses the rest of the thread until the next day* Welcome back, Uncle Fes!
• High Fes.
• Does this mean I have to give back Fes's old parking space? Because I am kind of used to it.
• FES! Also, what everyone else said. Viacom is trying to force a deal. How long until we have to see ads on YouTube?
• Viacom soon to be watching YOU! Google must divulge the viewing habits of every user who has ever watched any video on YouTube, a US court has ruled... The viewing log, which will be handed to Viacom, contains the log-in ID of users, the computer IP address (online identifier) and video clip details. *readies for the next wave of RIAA-like subpoenas to launch*
• Except: 1. You don't need to have a log-in ID in order to view videos on YouTube. 2. Unless you have a static IP address AND haven't changed ISP's in a while, your IP address is meaningless. 3. The viewing log does not list the internet traditions that you are aware of.
