1 edit | About time.. Well, in this case, the companies are stuck in a rock and a hard place.
From what I understand...if you have a property, and go years without prosecuting someone who uploads it to youtube....or starts selling it, or does anything else to it without your permission..it'll be tougher to win a court case against someone who really does some damage.
but I'm glad to see that companies are starting to notice that uploading to youtube does no real harm. If anything, if a company owns a property that they don't think will be a hit on DVD...well, all they have to do is see how many people find it un-advertised on youtube and that should be a bit of a clue right there as to how well it might sell..
And people will still buy...especially if it's a well done package and produced product. I.E. No syndication cuts, no unstoppable menus and adds, etc.
It also saves the company some time....not to mention staff money if they where to do something similar on their own website.. |
