Just goes to show, copyrights and patents are used by corrupt governments to turn companies into large, monopolistic monsters that destroy small businesses and dominate the economy. That's why most people today are employed instead of self-employed. There is no better way to trap the masses, limit their wealth, and tax their incomes than with copyrights and patents.

Good job. Way to stick through all of this and see your way to victory. Congratulations. Your efforts and the results that were produced will pave the way for others found in the same situation.
However, I must agree with the others here - this country (and the world for that matter) has been taken over by elitist criminals who will use any means necessary to subjugate and control us all.
Nevertheless, if we are to fight against this tyranny, it must be done on all fronts. Especially here.
America has been hijacked by terrorist. These terrorists are not Muslim. They are not even Arab. These terrorists are national and international bankers and elitists. The Carnagies, Rothchilds, Murdocks, and the British Royal Family just to name a few. They created and control the (non federal) federal reserve bank and other banks which control America. They will invade Iran. They will steal more elections until we have a Revolution. Bush & Cheny will hang for war crimes.
"Law" exists for no other reason than to protect and serve the rich and powerful. It doesn't matter what the law actually says, if a multibillion dollar company says "jump" the US courts tend to say "how high?".
The Hon. Louis Stanton, an 81 year old Reagan appointee, may not fully appreciate the effects of his formal discovery ruling adversely affecting the privacy of younger generations. Interesting that his Wikipedia biography has been repeatedly edited since yesterday! I urge you to leave your carefully considered comment in the "Discussion" section of Judge Louis Stanton's Wikipedia biography.
this situation you found yourself in isn't off character for large corporate entities.
they will often attemt to claim that you are in the wrong, in regards to rules,regulations,laws often which are disigned to be as confusing as possible.
then if you question the validity they will attempt to bring "large amounts" of money into the arguement.
as an attempt to price check you into submission from fears of penalties.
and then only after you spend money and time will they do what is law.
My friend tomken8dy and myself had two videos taken down last Saturday for copyright infringement. There had to be a mistake because there was no infringement regarding music or anything. So, we are still waiting. I hate that we are guilty until we can prove our innocence. Our videos are much more clearer if YT would have taken the time to view them. I'm subscribed because this is a major problem on YT.
That's kinda scary for you, that's a big corporation. I hope everything works out alright, but that's a tall order for one person to have to prove. It's all dumb, in the end: I understand their right to protect their property, but cmon...it's the 21st century. I record every episode of Daily Show/Colbert Report on my PC's tv tuner into mpeg form. I can make copies of those videos and give it to friends...and there's nothing viacom can do about it and I'm not hurting their bottom line
army of lawyers a clear threat to you this country runs the same way now inside the country using fear.Gotten worst sorry to say since Murdock bought you tube. now all get gov. immunity against the people who they claim to serve. quite the opposite and sad one has to take on the beast alone else have the battery of lawyers who's gain came from the working class fodder handed down from the parents to sick sons. they will box car you in.

Do you think it makes you look smarter by sitting in front of a bookcase? Liberals are the ones with highschool or GED diplomas, so stop trying to act like someone your not.
Actually, the more educated you are, the more statistically likely you are to be both politically and religiously liberal. Conservatives tend to favor going into the military instead of going to college. That's why universities will always be liberal, and the armed forces will always be conservative.
what are the stats on you being able to mail vids from here? i am batting 0 and wondering why billion dollar business cant get it right as i get internal error all the time now.
There are not many in the military with an IQ below 90. This is because of the testing required. Contrast to the population, where greater than 1/3 of the population is below this IQ level. College graduates with no graduate school are more likely to be Republican. Graduate tudents/professors/professionals with advanced degrees are more likely to be Democrats. Evaluate the educational level of the two groups which make up the strength of the Dem Party, single moms and blacks.
OH NO! HE OWNS BOOKS! Of course anyone that owns a bookshelf is trying to look smarter than they are instead of NEEDING TO PUT ALL THEIR BOOKS IN ONE PLACE!
"Do you think it makes you look smarter by sitting in front of a bookcase? Liberals are the ones with highschool or GED diplomas, so stop trying to act like someone your not."
This is why people think Conservatives are ignorant, because of the sheer ridiculousness of anti-liberal comments like this. Yea, Liberals tend to have HS/GED Diplomas... whereas Conservatives don't get even that far, they just join the military and go a'shootin.
I am on youtube via sony playstation 3 computer. So far I am unable to upload my videos to youtube to share with fellow youtuber's. When I asked youtube for reason why youtube replied, you have to contact sony concerning this matter. When I asked sony for reason why sony replied,you will need to contact youtube concerning this matter. This whole thing reminds me of when I was a child, and being told by my father that I have to ask mother about that. I wont to know whats going on!
I took a class on media law recently and if I learned anything, it's that your videos are absolutely fair use of copyrighted materials (although copyright itself is becoming an absolute joke in the modern era of free information). Thanks, I'm a fan.
Youtube is a free web site. It's purpose is to make money. You are using it as a liberal political site. They could ban you entirely for any reason whatsoever. If someone complains that you are trying to promote liberal candidates for office for example you would be gone. Pretty good idea.
I tried to find a sentence in your comment that didn't have some factual or logical flaw in it. The closest I could come was "Youtube is a free web site" (though the YouTube website does have ads and Google paid over a billion dollars for it)
So YT could ban you for any reason isn't factual and their purpose is not to make money. Ok. Libs will swallow that whole. How about this. You are being paid to put up your site?
The purpose of YouTube is to watch and share videos. And, if you look at the YouTube terms of use, you'll find they give users more DMCA rights than you might expect. Tho, as stated in this vid, I'm not a copyright expert, I did some research showing that for YouTube to be protected by the DMCA, YouTube must detail their users DMCA rights including "termination in APPROPRIATE circumstances." See 17 USC § 512(i)(1)(A)
And, no, I have never been paid anything for anything I've done on YouTube (though the ACLU of Hawaii sent me a T-shirt thanking me for publicizing their fight to put up a Christmas Tree last year). I was, however, recently offered a spot in the YouTube partner program which may earn me a little $ for a lot of views in the future and my partnership agreement w/YouTube also affects YouTube's ability to "ban [me] for any reason."
I read 17 512 (i)(1)(A). Appropriate circumstances means? It is not defined. Let's say I DMCA your video claiming your critism of Fox News and Neil Cavuto's interview of Michael Newdow is anti-christian. I have a team of lawyers to sue YT and $1million to spend. They would remove your account rather than get sued. NO? And it is unbelievable that as an ACLU chapter president your LiberalViewer site isn't helped in some way by them.If I were you I would never admit anything online. No way.
Is there anything that binds YT to allowing you free access to their website? Couldn't they just cut say 1/2 of all accounts for their own reasons? Or is it sort of like Pres Bush not being allowed to fire some federal prosecutors when Pres Clinton fired all of them without a peep out of mainstream news? Just depends on how much noise comes out of the protests?
prrolg wrote: "I read 17 512 (i)(1)(A). Appropriate circumstances means? It is not defined."
Defining "appropriate circumstances" might require litigation, but its one of the factors contradicting your flat claim that YouTube can terminate for "any reason whatsoever" which was my point. "Appropriate circumstances" include fewer circumstances than "any reason whatsoever."
prrolg wrote: "it is unbelievable that as an ACLU chapter president your LiberalViewer site isn't helped in some way by them.If I were you I would never admit anything online."
I'm not an "ACLU chapter president," this video is about how my local ACLU helped me, and, u seem to be accusing me not just of not "admitting anything online," but rather of actually lying in that I affirmatively told u I have NOT been "helped in some way" other than I've described.
Actually, it was my second choice after the video "Viacom Vs. Youtube" uploaded by DMCAisCRAP. That was my first choice b/c it has the full Daily Show segment from which I took clips. But, DMCAisCRAP didn't accept my video response, so I went to my second choice (which I almost chose as my first choice). I had just updated my choice a few minutes before your post
Viacom ruins pretty much everything it touches. It ruined Comedy Central, and is currently ruining Youtube. God only knows how many other good channels it completely destroyed over the years.
This reminds me of an acid trip when I rediscovered the notion of infinite regression. Talking about talking about talking about.....something that somebody else owns. It's the Land o' Lakes Indian woman but told by a lawyer.
Ha! that's funny. small world. i've been a fan of your vids for some time now. yes, i'm an atty (family law and some civ. lit.) here in sacto. i stopped reading the bee, so i missed the articles about you. keep up the good work!
I don't think they were purposefully trying to censor him. They were just hot after Youtube and Google and they were trying to make things as difficult as possible. You know, throw a mile-long list of take-downs at the company they were suing. Youtube obviously believed they had no choice and just complied. Youtube is a free service and I realy don't believe that people should complain unless they were paying for it.
Is entertainment as important as air or water? Arguably not, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find a society devoid of entertainment. And what of the Writers? The animators? All those people who put bread on their tables by doing their job, which is entertainment? Oh, and you're assuming monoplies are always bad.
Patents for important products that make life easier and more comfortable are great, but I think getting some dumbass copyright for digital or creative material is bullshit. Entertainment is great, but it's not necessary to survive on planet Earth. The market should be truly competitive when it comes to creative material, and copyrights don't do that. Even an economics textbook admits that copyrights create a monopoly that only the original creator can break.
The age of "little guy ingenuity" is here, and either the big corporations can suck it up and deal with it, or they can continue these waste-of-money lawsuits trying to take down one user or video a day while 1000s more pop up. It's as futile as the War on Terror in eliminating all terrorism. Protectionism only protects failing industries rather than letting them adapt to the changing times. The RIAA, Viacom and these other big corps. can kiss my fucking ass!
It's funny, because on the other side of the system we think it's amusing how easy it is for us to knock down 1000s of videos whereas users have to spend lots of time and energy to upload them.
The big corporations are scared! They know they're losing an uphill battle, and like a frantic chicken w/ its head cut off, they don't know what to do. So they ask the gov't for protectionism because of this copyright crap. They're a bunch of megalomaniacs who think NO ONE should be able to use their shows long after they premiered and show on tv because someone might "criticize us" and hold their feet to the fire.
These digital copyright laws are too damn strict. What right should Viacom have in telling me I can't use some of their material for a creative video of my OWN?? Or how come I shouldn't be allowed to use wrestling clips to make a tribute video to someone like the Undertaker? Once I compile all those clips, it's MY creation. I came up with the idea and put it together, NOT fucking Viacom or Google! Shame on you, Chad and Steven, for giving Youtube over to fucking Google.
"What right should Viacom have in telling me I can't use some of their material for a creative video of my OWN"
You have to understand that on a certain level, the idea of using someone else's material for your own creative video is oxymoronic. They paid for and have a stake in their content, what right do you have to hurt their brand or use their property as you want?
So making a decoupage collage out of magazine adverts is infringing on copyright laws? How about Mattel suing the guy who used a Barbie doll in his art exhibit( which they lost, by the way)?
"Sorry, you scummy capitalist pig-dogs; the First Amendment is every artist's friend." -quote from a friend
I'm not saying using someone else's material and seriously altering to make your own creative piece is as cut and dry as taking something of theirs and stamping your name on it. But it's not the same as making something yours from the ground up, either.
Personally I think as long as the idea behind the piece is original and it's greatly edited from it's original content, then that's acceptable (and the law pretty much says that). But media corporations have their own interests to protect, and if they think you're hurting them they have a right to defend themselves.
It was weird to me that I had to explain the DMCA to YouTube. Plus, a big part of Google's business model is based on fair use (eg Google News searching and displaying fair use text from news stories), so I'm surprised, even after the Google buyout, that YouTube was so much on the wrong side of the fair use issue.
I suspect that's because of the "marketing people."
As buisnesses grow, that is, as they make money. Conservative (non-political) behaviors set in. The tendancy to want to 'keep making money' starts to overshadow the 'what we want to do' in the buisness model.
When people just do what they want, they're leaders - and money follows. When they simply want money and chase after it - quality degrades.
There's a collective effort in this country to demonize the ACLU with distortions. If they bothered to look into its history and what it stands for, their outlooks would be overhauled.
Renetto, your connections to Libview led me to discover your comments on the "end of youtube" potential.
I agree with ya. But, I have faith in the chaos that is the interwebs. It's sort of like how capitalism is SUPPOSED to work. Market place of ideas, if youtube fails, google fails, etc - something will rise from these pirate seas to fill the vaccum and give us all solidarity once again.
"Clean and sterile" cant survive the thick primordial jungle that is the internet.
Maybe not for the lawyers but since you don't make videos you can't bitch about posting videos for your friends on YT and have to worry about some psycho in Japan finding your videos with a search and fucking with you. I can bitch about that.
Wait I'm confused. It sounds to me like you want to be able to post videos on YT but not have people find them? Isn't that kind of... pointless? I mean, if you don't want people to see your videos don't post them or don't make them even.
You can set videos to private. They're not indexed together with everything else, and even if someone finds them they can't be viewed if you don't authorize them thusly.
Sorry, I forgot you were talking about videos on other sites now being indexed by Google. Why don't you just send your friend your video, like in an email? I'm just trying to point out the irony of putting a video out on any sort of public linking site and then complaining that people can find it.
YT did not tell me that I should do that when I created my first account 14 months ago and so I created an account with my first and last name. I made a hundred videos maybe and had 3 thousand 500 hits on google. There were my videos being critiqued in at least 20 languages and I could not remove them. I started experimenting with ways to stop that and there is no way to stop it. I can still google my first screen name and find out how to email people on my friends list.
Did you verify that it is at least as bad as I said it was? Google your screen name and you will probably find your comments being discussed in languages you have not ever seen on blogs you never heard of.
I did extensive research on this a year ago. There is no way to stop it. I can set videos to private, disable embedding and delete the video and find it on websites months later.

"Law" exists for no other reason than to protect and serve the rich and powerful. It doesn't matter what the law actually says, if a multibillion dollar company says "jump" the US courts tend to say "how high?".

The Hon. Louis Stanton, an 81 year old Reagan appointee, may not fully appreciate the effects of his formal discovery ruling adversely affecting the privacy of younger generations. Interesting that his Wikipedia biography has been repeatedly edited since yesterday! I urge you to leave your carefully considered comment in the "Discussion" section of Judge Louis Stanton's Wikipedia biography.

this situation you found yourself in isn't off character for large corporate entities.
they will often attemt to claim that you are in the wrong, in regards to rules,regulations,laws often which are disigned to be as confusing as possible.
then if you question the validity they will attempt to bring "large amounts" of money into the arguement.
as an attempt to price check you into submission from fears of penalties.
and then only after you spend money and time will they do what is law.

My friend tomken8dy and myself had two videos taken down last Saturday for copyright infringement. There had to be a mistake because there was no infringement regarding music or anything. So, we are still waiting. I hate that we are guilty until we can prove our innocence. Our videos are much more clearer if YT would have taken the time to view them. I'm subscribed because this is a major problem on YT.

Actually, the more educated you are, the more statistically likely you are to be both politically and religiously liberal. Conservatives tend to favor going into the military instead of going to college. That's why universities will always be liberal, and the armed forces will always be conservative.

There are not many in the military with an IQ below 90. This is because of the testing required. Contrast to the population, where greater than 1/3 of the population is below this IQ level. College graduates with no graduate school are more likely to be Republican. Graduate tudents/professors/professionals with advanced degrees are more likely to be Democrats. Evaluate the educational level of the two groups which make up the strength of the Dem Party, single moms and blacks.

Youtube is a free web site. It's purpose is to make money. You are using it as a liberal political site. They could ban you entirely for any reason whatsoever. If someone complains that you are trying to promote liberal candidates for office for example you would be gone. Pretty good idea.

prrolg,
The purpose of YouTube is to watch and share videos. And, if you look at the YouTube terms of use, you'll find they give users more DMCA rights than you might expect. Tho, as stated in this vid, I'm not a copyright expert, I did some research showing that for YouTube to be protected by the DMCA, YouTube must detail their users DMCA rights including "termination in APPROPRIATE circumstances." See 17 USC § 512(i)(1)(A)

And, no, I have never been paid anything for anything I've done on YouTube (though the ACLU of Hawaii sent me a T-shirt thanking me for publicizing their fight to put up a Christmas Tree last year). I was, however, recently offered a spot in the YouTube partner program which may earn me a little $ for a lot of views in the future and my partnership agreement w/YouTube also affects YouTube's ability to "ban [me] for any reason."

I read 17 512 (i)(1)(A). Appropriate circumstances means? It is not defined. Let's say I DMCA your video claiming your critism of Fox News and Neil Cavuto's interview of Michael Newdow is anti-christian. I have a team of lawyers to sue YT and $1million to spend. They would remove your account rather than get sued. NO? And it is unbelievable that as an ACLU chapter president your LiberalViewer site isn't helped in some way by them.If I were you I would never admit anything online. No way.
prrolg 4 years ago
Is there anything that binds YT to allowing you free access to their website? Couldn't they just cut say 1/2 of all accounts for their own reasons? Or is it sort of like Pres Bush not being allowed to fire some federal prosecutors when Pres Clinton fired all of them without a peep out of mainstream news? Just depends on how much noise comes out of the protests?

Defining "appropriate circumstances" might require litigation, but its one of the factors contradicting your flat claim that YouTube can terminate for "any reason whatsoever" which was my point. "Appropriate circumstances" include fewer circumstances than "any reason whatsoever."

Youtube is a free service and I realy don't believe that people should complain unless they were paying for it.

Is entertainment as important as air or water? Arguably not, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find a society devoid of entertainment. And what of the Writers? The animators? All those people who put bread on their tables by doing their job, which is entertainment? Oh, and you're assuming monoplies are always bad.
CharBroiled04 4 years ago
Patents for important products that make life easier and more comfortable are great, but I think getting some dumbass copyright for digital or creative material is bullshit. Entertainment is great, but it's not necessary to survive on planet Earth. The market should be truly competitive when it comes to creative material, and copyrights don't do that. Even an economics textbook admits that copyrights create a monopoly that only the original creator can break.
Whoo69 4 years ago
The age of "little guy ingenuity" is here, and either the big corporations can suck it up and deal with it, or they can continue these waste-of-money lawsuits trying to take down one user or video a day while 1000s more pop up. It's as futile as the War on Terror in eliminating all terrorism. Protectionism only protects failing industries rather than letting them adapt to the changing times. The RIAA, Viacom and these other big corps. can kiss my fucking ass!

It's funny, because on the other side of the system we think it's amusing how easy it is for us to knock down 1000s of videos whereas users have to spend lots of time and energy to upload them.

The big corporations are scared! They know they're losing an uphill battle, and like a frantic chicken w/ its head cut off, they don't know what to do. So they ask the gov't for protectionism because of this copyright crap. They're a bunch of megalomaniacs who think NO ONE should be able to use their shows long after they premiered and show on tv because someone might "criticize us" and hold their feet to the fire.

These digital copyright laws are too damn strict. What right should Viacom have in telling me I can't use some of their material for a creative video of my OWN?? Or how come I shouldn't be allowed to use wrestling clips to make a tribute video to someone like the Undertaker? Once I compile all those clips, it's MY creation. I came up with the idea and put it together, NOT fucking Viacom or Google! Shame on you, Chad and Steven, for giving Youtube over to fucking Google.
Whoo69 4 years ago
"What right should Viacom have in telling me I can't use some of their material for a creative video of my OWN"
You have to understand that on a certain level, the idea of using someone else's material for your own creative video is oxymoronic. They paid for and have a stake in their content, what right do you have to hurt their brand or use their property as you want?

So making a decoupage collage out of magazine adverts is infringing on copyright laws? How about Mattel suing the guy who used a Barbie doll in his art exhibit( which they lost, by the way)?

I'm not saying using someone else's material and seriously altering to make your own creative piece is as cut and dry as taking something of theirs and stamping your name on it. But it's not the same as making something yours from the ground up, either.

CharBroiled04 4 years ago

Personally I think as long as the idea behind the piece is original and it's greatly edited from it's original content, then that's acceptable (and the law pretty much says that). But media corporations have their own interests to protect, and if they think you're hurting them they have a right to defend themselves.

TheGiantRobot,
It was weird to me that I had to explain the DMCA to YouTube. Plus, a big part of Google's business model is based on fair use (eg Google News searching and displaying fair use text from news stories), so I'm surprised, even after the Google buyout, that YouTube was so much on the wrong side of the fair use issue.
Thx 4 subscribing and commenting :-)
LiberalViewer 4 years ago
I suspect that's because of the "marketing people."
As buisnesses grow, that is, as they make money. Conservative (non-political) behaviors set in. The tendancy to want to 'keep making money' starts to overshadow the 'what we want to do' in the buisness model.
When people just do what they want, they're leaders - and money follows. When they simply want money and chase after it - quality degrades.

CharBroiled04 4 years ago
YT did not tell me that I should do that when I created my first account 14 months ago and so I created an account with my first and last name. I made a hundred videos maybe and had 3 thousand 500 hits on google. There were my videos being critiqued in at least 20 languages and I could not remove them.
