A Viacom VP even complained about the "fucking assholes" at YouTube — because the company "enforced its repeat-infringer policy concerning a Viacom marketing account that had received multiple take-down notices from Viacom's legal department."
Merely reading this sentence is making my eyes cross. Is it possible for this case to become any more absurd?
- jrockway 16y agoWhy should Viacom be responsible for their own actions? THEY MAKE TV SHOWS!!!!
- mambodog 16y agoI don't know about Viacom's channels, but I swear nearly every major label musician/artist's channel that I've been to lately has had at least one of their videos missing due to a takedown request from their own record company. That said, most of the channels that I looked at were run by the artists themselves, I guess it wouldn't happen so much on marketing-dept run channels, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did.
