"Today, the court granted our motion for summary judgment in Viacom’s lawsuit with YouTube. This means that the court has decided that YouTube is protected by the safe harbor of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) against claims of copyright infringement. The decision follows established judicial consensus that online services like YouTube are protected when they work cooperatively with copyright holders to help them manage their rights online. This is an important victory not just for us, but also for the billions of people around the world who use the web to communicate and share experiences with each other. We’re excited about this decision and look forward to renewing our focus on supporting the incredible variety of ideas and expression that billions of people post and watch on YouTube every day around the world."

w00t!

6/23/2010 11:49:12 PM

lmao if you think google is out for anything other than increasing their ad revenue

6/23/2010 11:58:34 PM

haha, is MS the only tech company you don't hate on?

i hate on them for not making better use of their massive advantages in several markets.

i mean, google is evil as hell. they're an ad company that makes software to sell ads.
apple is a protable device company that makes software and hardware designed to be replaced every year and that does its best to force you into their content store.

microsoft is a software company that makes shit to let you do whatever you want. Their biggest problem is ballmer is pretty dumb and they cant see obvious shit right in front of them until 2-3 years after someone else has done the same thing.
