00000 | Upload time Upload time on our little tube needs to be fixed. It takes years and I think the most I have as a clip max is 4 minutes and 40 seconds. Sad.

The thing I would have loved to have seen is this fools parents. Son why are you walking funny......YOU DID WHAT!!!, OUT OF YOUR WHAT!!!!!!!!! Oh what a howler.

| Re: My question is.... said by EPS :Viacom wants to prove that infringing videos drive YouTube's popularity. Therefore they'd need information on both infringing and non-infringing video statistics, I'd think. I can understand that, but the data numbers can easily be skewed. Someone records their dog jumping over frogs on the street with music playing in background, music is a copyrighted song, will they count that as infringement?
Someone uploads a favorite scene of their favorite tv show, it's 2 mins. and 30 secs. long, will they count this as infringement?
Kids dancing goofy like in front of the camera to their favorite teen music star, course the music is copyrighted, will they count that? You get the picture....
So Viacom can easily say that only 10% of the stuff is non-infringing. How would we know? If this were the case, I think Google, in their best interest, should release that data (with the privacy data removed) so others can see, maybe to the EFF or someone.
I think there's more going on, but that's just a conspiracy theory  Course all of this is just my opinion...  | |

| Re: My question is.... Well Viacom's not a music label, they're primarily a movie studio and cable TV company, and their primary claims have been against clips of their shows.
One wonders if they'll only look for statistics of clips infringing their OWN copyrights or for all media companies. | |

Viacom might be disappointed. Most of the youtube stuff I see people looking at is generated by amateurs. My son for instance, who looks at youtube quite a bit (bordering on all day) watches gamer made game reviews and user created content. I saw him looking at south park clips two or three times but a vast majority is user created content. | |
