Make Way for Copyright Chaos - Lessig on Viacom vs Google
- reitzensteinm 20y ago--- LAST week, Viacom asked a federal court to order the video-sharing service YouTube to pay it more than $1 billion in damages for some 150,000 videos that Viacom claims it owns and YouTube users have shared. Over $6600 per video, discounting dupes of which I'm sure there will be masses, I wonder how they worked those figures out. $/view? This could be a nice idea for a startup - something that can determine whether a given audio sample or video clip is pulled from copyrighted content. Of course it depends on sites like Youtube existing and users on it infringing.
