In this video, Paramount Pictures CEO Frederick Huntsberry speaks about online copyright infringement at an FCC broadband workshop. In the presentation, he demonstrates how to use various technologies (BitTorrent, streaming, digital lockers) to unlawfully download films. He also implicates a number of lawful, legitimate services, characterizing them as enabling online "piracy".
"...a clip that was featured on TechDirt, TechCrunch and the Hollywood Reporter and which was watched by thousands of folks on YouTube."
Well, technically it was viewed by a few thousand, but 3,000 something isn't impressive for YouTube. Rather than trying to make it seem like a lot of people watched it (I think it counts views by the same person multiple times too), why not just leave that part out and not making it seem like you're distorting the truth. Not many people have watched this.

LOL that guy is a retard who ever that was. Drop io faq says "You can/should use drop io for anything where very simple storage, sharing, and/or communication are the priorities, so long as it doesn't violate our terms of use or the law." So they don't promote it. If i was drop io i would be sueing him for this Presentation.

Frederick Huntsberry sounds like a real douche trying to sound like he knows what he's talking about. What should really be concerning him is the absolute drivel that comes out of hollywood. Most of it would be a waste of bandwidth to even download.
