Piracy is the copying of such object or item or subject without actually achieving phyiscal possession of it. Also, why is YouTube allowed to stream everything? Why doesn't the RIAA and MPAA go after them? It'd be so incredibly easy. It's all a big work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you did it -- you're going to get attacked for that comment, even though you're 100% correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBeane Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I don't see it as being any different from recording a movie on your VCR. Same as a DVR. I am surprised that you are allowed to fast forward through commercials on recorded shows on your DVR. If you use the "Start Over" feature that most companies have, you cannot fast forward through anything, but you can rewind.. why it is not the same for recorded shows is beyond me.

Just Jack Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Time Warner On Demand, some shows, notably NBC shows, you can not fast forward. They still have commercial breaks, usually just one commercial for another of their shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Uh.... they do go after them. In late '08 the MPAA announced it will stop policing YouTube. I do not know how public the statement was but I think it was CNET that had it posted. Howard Stern speaks of it often, saying that in order to remove his material he has to send a legal letter via mail for each infraction. He has said the process is tedious and expensive. He has also said it has forced Sirius to create a "channel" so they could at least get some revenue from it. YouTube is ten times worse then the cable networks. Neither create any material and for the most part spend a fraction to broadcast what it takes to create the content they provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MPAA might have stopped "officially" as a representative of it's members, but the individual members still do (and often) send DMCA notices to Youtube for takedowns.
