Why sue YouTube? The quality isn't great BUT it has allowed millions to communicate and rate videos.
The real problem is people are loathe to pay for lousy encoded content. MP3s should be at 256 bit rate and WMA's should be a 192 (64 is ridiculous). I don't even connect to the Net when copying CDs to put the 18 songs that I would listen to in the car, which avoids most DRM crap in the first place. (MP3 players I've used, including iPod, could handle my abuse and it is asinine to watch video on a 2 1/2 inch screen).
DVD downloads in lousy quality for 19.99? It should be a $3.99 or maybe 9.99 (with a burn option). Otherwise, buying used DVDs for 3 for $20 or 4 $20-25 is far better at Blockbuster.
YouTube could just make sure a link to buy the CD or video appears and make money. Cuban, a bad cigar, is just jealous his whacky theory has panned, period. |
