Lets take a step back here folks...

Let me open up tonight's rant with this article.

Viacom vs. YouTube: Beyond Privacy
As Viacom is granted access to YouTube user records, a bigger threat to user-generated sites emerges: The law is increasingly siding with rights owners
by Catherine Holahan


OK.. I'll give you a bit to read this one. Seriously.. Take a look at this article and if you can. Let me know your interpretation of what this person is saying.

Times up. Lets take a look at the first paragraph, last Sentence. So to me this indicates that Viacom may sue end users for "...and sue people who watch copyrighted video clips on the site. "

Wow.. I don't exactly know where the reporter got this information without seeing the actual suit itself. In the article on the 2nd page it talks about setting a precedent courtesy of the EU. It also says that, "I also can say with complete certainty that we will not use any of the data provided to pursue individual end users."

Now I'm not sure that I really wanted to know the fact that Viacom has considered this enough to make a statement against it.

1st. Why the hell is google/youtube keeping my IP Address and my email alias, and why are they keeping them together?

2nd. Why the fuck does Viacom need this information together as it is?

Does anybody know if it is possible to sue both of these corporations at the same time just for general principle? Call me old fashioned, but Get the Fuck out of my life here people! I purposely don't have Comcast cable, I hate to admit it, but I do watch Jon Stewart & Steven Colbert, albeit on another video sharing site.

I don't want to live in a nanny state like Great Britain. If I really wanted the Queen to watch over me and have every move I make recorded I would have moved over there. If its because of what happened 7 years ago, shrug it off and rebuild. While it was an extreme dick move of the Terrorists to do, I think we need to pay some attention to what the fuck is going on in this country. Oh.. and on top of that. How many lawsuits lately does the EU have against US Companies? Wake the hell up folks. This bullshit is getting expensive. I for one can't afford it anymore and I don't want to pay for this type of crap just cause companies or greater think they have to have more money. They are the ones who print this shit up for me!! WTF....

If its about the World Bank trying to bankrupt us. Ok.. You've won. Either give us a hand back up or get the fuck out of the way.

Anyway.. Here is the pre Fireworks extravaganda!! :)

Have a happy and sane one folks!! :) If you blow shit up, make sure it isn't copyrighted and if it is, don't upload it to YouTube for now. If it's all yours, lets see it!!
