Putting online video to the copyright test

Sue away!: Odd, I saw all the studios making deals to exploit YouTube, rather than suing them. You must be talking about someone else then.

Here's the deal--I'm fine with the broadcast flag, just don't make it mandatory. Make it optional. If some owners want to protect their content with it, they have every right to do so. If some content presenters wish to show that content, then using it will be necessary to access the protected content.

But if I choose not to have it installed on my equipment, that's fine too. I can't get at the protected content or the protected sites. I don't care, I don't want to support them anyway.

Why must this be made mandatory by law?; Posted by: tic swayback Posted on: 11/01/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
