  • Great post Cord.
  • It’s possible that YouTube could function similarly as an index, just as Google does for web content. But the Torrent Spy case suggests that even “contributory” copyright infringement—making the copyright-infringing material easier to find—is just as illegal as hosting it in the first place. This means that even video search could be off the table if the principles of the DMCA aren’t upheld.

    It's possible, but if that would actually happen, wouldn't there suddenly be support to change the law?

  • They wanted to have a stake in online video, but didn't like what Google was offering. These guys hate not having options. So they made their own--lousy--option, and to make it look better to themselves, they made it bigger.
