YouTube Purges 30,000 Copyright Files

Well, as these videos are mostly low quality and in no way a replacement for a product (DVD or high quality streams), they should be happy for any money they receive from Youtube or similar sites.

Given that the clips were uploaded illegally, the labels can now ask for sums they would not have gotten through regular contracts. They can set the conditions, because they could always sue Youtube for the copyrighted material that was available in the past. So these are not normal deals that would exist if Youtube has asked the rightholders for permission before using the material. It's more like an out of court settlement.

 

Well, i've been having a blast watching all the videos concerning forum member Zen Archer's commentary on YouTube's terms of agreement.

 

There goes the neighborhood. Another great website bites the dust so that some lawyers can make some money.

 

I bought Tears For Fears greatest hits because of YouTube and Im going to pick up OhMyGod ITs the 80's box for my nostalgic girlfriend because of the video for John Parr's Man in Motion/St. Elmos Fire.

 

What can I say?

Except for that was HILARIOUS!! HAHA

 

You sure it's the same Zenarcher?
