Was asked before but never answered. How does GOOGLE get away with this...?
 

http://video.google.com

Been asked before but never really saw an answer. How do they get away with having so much copyrighted content?

I've been looking around and you can find pretty much everything on there now. From full episodes of Showtimes shows (ex: bullshit) to HBO shows (ali g) to BBC, Fox, etc shows. More and more shit is added every day.

I'm not complaining, but I'm curious because if any of us setup a site that lets people upload video content, so that we can reformat it into flash quality (which is shit compared to original quality of most) and slap it on our site we'd get sued in a second.

even better question how does GUBA get away with it? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

They search the internet, they don't create it.

congratulation, you are a fucking idiot. NEXT!!!!!!

can you pls give me some links to full shows ? ?? I never find those , I only find fragments of 5 minutes max !

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...en+abduct ion

u cant find this shit looking for it directly, for example. you won't find shit looking for "bullshit" or "pen & teller" but when I put in "alien abduction" I get their full 30 minute episode.

this is Showtimes show. I'm sure showtime wouldn't love to have it on there...

maybe they are considered "held harmless" since the videos aren't hosted on their servers...? maybe, who knows. I'm probably wrong.

Google is evil.

geez. you don't read do you. all the videos are hosted on their servers. they are first converted to a format where they can ONLY be watched on GOOGLE and then they are hosted there.

They're just doing a search for you. It's a service.

yet another fucking idiot. it's not a search you dumbass, they recode all the videos and host them on their site so they can only be watched on Google.

its like google converting your entire site content into their Google format and hosting it on their site, without a link to your site.

learn to fucking read.

why don't you calm down nancy
fucking tool

shut the fuck up surfer.

google.com domain
 

its like search engine not shop or smth am i right?

I just sit back and laugh.. It entertains me? It amuses me? ;]

chill pill

They are submitted to them, supposedly by the copyright owners. Try to submit something so you could see how it works.

lmao i guess not many know how google works, google itsself is a search engine yes lol. but the vids are hosted by them

If they're not being sued for it already, they probably will be. They respond to DMCA complaints over thumbnails and search engine ranked positions. It's probably a lot like GUBA. They know they are going to have content that belongs to someone else, but their position is they'll remove it if asked ? Kind of like 1996 and all the sites with stolent content that had the disclaimer at bottom, "these photos are believed to be in the public domain."

google video is made entirely of user submitted videos , that the person submits verified they are the primary producer copyright holder. ( kind of like ebaumsworld :( )

people upload the videos to google
google does not find them
