Former Google fanboi here. If it causes YouTube some grief, I'm all for it. If they weren't profiting from piracy their policy of asking for indemnity to use Content-Id wouldn't be so skeezy.
- spacemanmatt 5y agoThey're benefiting from the DMCA coming and going. It's exactly skeezy.
- spacemanmatt 5y agoIn legal terms jargon, they're using the DMCA as both sword and shield. It is expressly forbidden in many legal contexts by U.S. law, and as citizen-observers, we should condemn Google for this kind of policy.
- t-writescode 5y agoBe careful not to cut your own nose off to spite someone else’s face. Bad for Google and bad for everyone is still bad.
- spacemanmatt 5y agoHow is anyone but Google harmed by a lawsuit brought on fair terms, that exposes Google's leveraging of Content-Id to obtain indemnity for past actions which Google very likely profited from?
