The whole argument here is that UMG in this case DID NOT hold any rights to the content they took down. They just didn't like it.

- Silhouette 15y agoI understand that, but there seems to be some doubt about whether they legally compelled YouTube to take it down or simply asked nicely via some pre-arranged deal with Google. If it's the latter, then perhaps any secondary criticism should be directed at Google for entering into such an agreement rather than at a legal system that wasn't used here anyway. I think my general point is that while SOPA is obviously a crazy idea and Big Media obviously do go too far at times, we should be careful to choose the focus of our criticism correctly.
