Unfortunately, as long as they own the copyright, no one else can benefit from it without permission.
Also, they have to make their claims to prevent 'dilution'. If people used it without the owner complaining, somewhere along the way it becomes public domain. As in coke and kleenex. They have come into common usage, and copyright owners are too late to stop it. Its a horrible situation, but just think how you would feel if you were a multi-national, multi-billion company and some little guy came a long and found an old clip that you forgot about. You would want a piece of his skin too. |

By rono - Tue 13/03/07 20:55:44 GMT they are crazy! viacom just deleted a 35 year old televison video recording (of worst quality) of a sly stone gig. you can't even buy it and they removed it because of copyright "violation". I mean someone has to be aggrieved or affeced in any way to call it a violation, or am I wrong?? |

By waterspaniel - Tue 13/03/07 20:37:56 GMT Media giant Viacom, which owns, among other things, the cable channels MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon, has filed a one billion dollar lawsuit against Youtube for the unauthorized posting of videos from the channels it owns. It'll be interesting to see what effect, if any, this has on the Youtube site. |
