Viacom's Lawsuit Could Mean YouTube's End Game [view article]
What people aren't realizing about this suit is much more then just money. It is the privacy issue. Viacom has asked for and received the right to every record of every video ever watched and by whom. Is anyone else not bothered by this? The govt tried and failed recently to get such information from You Tube. What will this mean in the long run. The privacy of every person that has ever clicked on a You Tube video will be a thing of the past. Viewing trends will be compiled and when the US congress is trying to quietly slip past laws such as HR 1955 (which has already cleared the house floor) and its companion sitting in the senate waiting for a vote S 1959, which pretty much translates to the setting up the legislation of thought crimes and the use of the internet to perpetuate "terrorist" ideology (which is now being termed as anyone that complains about the govt, current administration or the war a terrorist, etc), well I shudder to think of the precedence of this type of ruling. What was this judge thinking? Well obliviously not about the people that’s for sure. This needs to be taken to the Supreme Court and people need to seriously pay attention to this. If You Tube goes away, what will be next and will we then need govt sponsored websites to get our "free" information from? Jul 04 05:57 AM
