[...] Németországban azért perlik a Youtube-ot, hogy adja ki néhány letöltő személyazonosságát. A szomorú az, hogy a Google bejelentésre eltávolít jogtalan anyagot. Ebben az esetben a jogtulajdonos ezt elmulasztotta, így állítva csapdát a fogyasztóknak. [...]

RE: Jason W. I agree Jason 100%. There is a great force within YouTube and its in the form of 100% free and undivided advertising. And like you said. 125 million people. Maybe even more than that which is a low number if you consider how many video syndicates there are. And when a video goes viral, its all over with. YouTube is so popular how could they ever begin to police their site to delete every single video that had a split second of music or video within it that was owned by a network or a music publisher. I think any publicity is good publicity and it all ultimately equals extra exposure. Period.

[...] Contudo, na altura Schippmann aproveitou ainda para avisar que tinha sido contactado por outros profissionais da indústria musical alemã que estavam preocupados com o facto das suas obras estarem a ser usadas pela YouTube. Dito e feito, no final da semana passada ficámos a saber que não só Schipmann apresentou uma série de queixas-crime adicionais contra a YouTube e a Google como também que o procurador de Hamburgo decidiu iniciar uma investigação criminal.

That is true, there is no controlling this, once a site gets shut down, another one will pop up.

The videos were viewed 125 million times and no compensation received? How about exposing your music to potentially 125 million new fans that might actually go out and spend money to purchase your entire album based on a 30-second, low-quality clip on YouTube? How about getting your name and reputation out to 125 million people who will then tell their friends about you and your band? That's some of the best compensation an artist could ever hope for! Are they actually afraid that a crappy streaming video is really going to become a viable substitute for the actual album, be it an actual CD or tracks purchased from iTunes?

Criminal case? Just one more reason for the 125 million viewers to never visit Germany, since they'd likely never know if there were an outstanding arrest warrant.

Good luck with that...

Google and Youtube are about as big as IBM these days. If need be, they could darken the skies of Germany with lawyers.

Together, Google and Youtube have a system in place to assist rights holders. The fact that the rights holders were not able to gain access to this system, tells me that they TOO STUPID to use a computer. ;)

The world wide web being so huge, it will be almost impossible to curtail such infringement rights.Or a new world law will need to be implemented.
