    Photographers and artists simply don't have the $$$ and the unified voice that RIAA and to a slightly lesser extent the MPAA have in fighting this, and artist-types probably aren't as clever at being good little capitalists as the capitalists are

    Anyway, rebroadcasting a music video is a blatant act of illegality. At least as illegal as sharing music online, if not slightly worse (if you actually upload it to the site, as opposed to just allowing people to access your HD, it's somewhat more active on your part).

    As a side note, I presume that if I accidentally leave a hole in my security that allows sneaky sneaksters to grab my iTunes folder and download it, and also happen to post my music listing online, as in "Look at my cool collection, don't I rock", I'm not breaking the law, right? IE, I didn't "allow" people to download music, nor did I intend to distribute it (in this theoretical example).

    How do they prosecute Napster types, precisely? As I undedstand it, the sharing is what's being litigated, not the downloading (as one is a more serious offense than another). Do they define the adding of your IP address to a P2P network, and the operation of a P2P software, as 'intent to distribute" or something? Or is there a law that makes this prima facie illegal? And if so, what consequence would that law have for my initial case?

          No. The RIAA has more clout than the oil companies (most of whom are no longer American companies anyway, darn you BP!)

            I support the RIAA on this one... not because I agree with their position on copyright issues, but because music videos suck and anything that gets them from being rebroadcasted is a good thing.

            In fact, I wish they would never be broadcasted in the first place.
            To us, it is the BEAST.

              I was rather fond of Robert Miles' Children clip you know. (the one in that features a roadtrip)

                    Did you by any chance sample some of the videos featured on "Explore more videos"? Evidently Ms Moore is intimately associated with tounge action.

                            really ****ing annoying as every damn user name I usually go by is taken. . Even german cuss words were taken.

                            edit: I hit confirm to say the content is not objectionable to me, but it still doesn't work. . I guess maybe I'm not mature enough to view some of that stuff.

                              That gets you into a lot of trouble with some laws. Millions of people have shoplifted before. Millions of people have punched someone else. Hell, looking at my own job, there are entire things the finance industry in the UK do that are illegal.

                                If they're sueing youtube then I wonder how long it will be before they go after places like myspace where EVERYONE has videos linked to their webpage. You figure the ****nuts at the RIAA would understand free publicity when they see it.
