It is simply a matter of time...

it would be good to advertise some financial incetive to all ex-brazzers employees who will do that...

There must be some other solution to fight piracy, I think content protection is the key.

Of course people should protect their content, but I still believe the endgame will come when one of those ex-employees that feels jilted blows the whistle. Eventually it will happen.

I would love to see someone do just that. Put it out there that a financial reward is available for a whistle blower...

how crediable would their statement be if they were paid to make it.

if they have credible info they have credible info, they wouldn't be the first person that got something in return for their testimony. That would be for a judge and/or jury to decide, not an armchair attorney like yourself...

I have said for a while that this case, if it ever gets to a verdict, could fundamentally change the internet. If it is found that Youtube has manipulated content before it has gotten posted then it could invalidate their DMCA protection. If that happens Viacom will likely win its case and win a huge settlement. If that happens then any other company that has had content on Youtube could and probably would jump in and sue and we will see an enormous change to how Youtube works. We might even see it shut down. If that happens you know many of the other video sites out there will shut down just out of fear.

Before any of that happens, wouldn't they just offer to settle out of court?

I would assume they would. If Youtube saw that they were about to lose the case I would guess they would settle. It would be up to Viacom to determine if they wanted to accept. If they take the money, it might decrease the future lawsuits against Youtube, but if Viacom feels like they are about to win a big victory they might turn the settlement down and take it a jury.

I would assume Youtube would appeal any ruling that goes against them, but I would also guess if they lose while they are appealing they will be hit with a bunch more lawsuits.

Viacom used to provide great cartoons, but now they're just DICs.

Fuck them. Fuck them hard.

Do you believe that if one tube will get sued and looses in court, others will run for cover? I'd wish, but I do not think so. They'll be just more careful covering their traces, like having their grandmas uploading videos instead of employees.

viacom position is that any clip featuring their content no matter how much commentary, parody or other fair use, is still an infringement. (see the number of false takedown request they filed against youtube)

proving an employee uploaded the content, is a liability automagically for youtube unless you can prove that management authorized it.

conversely if viacom employee uploaded clips, youtube can claim "how can we tell the difference between those uploaded by joe blow 13 who happens to be an employee of viacom and joe blow 23 who isn't"

They should ask Viacom in BOTH cases. That's it, problem solved.
