@Boise_Lib: We were provided a full, valid DMCA takedown notice. (Whenever we don't see one, we don't comply. ) I just pasted the pertinent bit.
@gwiz665: You're right about that. Fortunately, though, we aren't obliged to do anything about it unless presented with a valid claim of copyright infringement.


Oh. Shit.

Bah humbug. Everything on videosift is infringing on something. All music, all clips.

DMCA doesn't apply, since videosift doesn't host. They can go to youtube and ask to have it removed.

As much as I appreciate your expert legal opinion, VideoSift could in fact be held liable for knowingly providing access to infringing content. Consider BitTorrent trackers who never see one byte of copyrighted content, but are still deemed responsible for infringement. Besides, I'm sure the folks behind VideoSift don't care to get involved in a legal battle.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

This post is subject to a DMCA takedown notice. Sorry. *kill

How is this still up ? ? Good for it not getting DMCA's

Alright right-wing apologists, here's your chance to validate all your "both sides do it" rhetoric.
Show me ONE case in recent history of democrats naming a piece of legislation in such a vitriolic, and frankly RETARDED manner.
They don't, they haven't.

I don't think this is what people are talking about when they say the left sometimes incites violence just like the right has been in the last 2 years.

It seems to me like it's pretty rare that bills are given such stupid names but, if you want to compare, Grayson (surprise, surprise) had a couple of them: Pick Your Poison Act, America is for Americans Act, Defund the Crooks Act.

Personally, I'm more concerned with the body of the bill than the title. I'll support the Puppies Should be Pithed and Immediately Eaten for Maximum Flavor Act if the body overturns USA PATRIOT or DMCA or some other act of personal freedom destruction.

Have fun with your DRM-encumbered corporate-controlled information.
You will never be able to give or lend a book, movie, video game to a friend. Your kids won't have a bookshelf to peruse. Amazon can take away your ability to access a book that you rented at any time (see the 1984 debacle, as well as the recent thing with erotica).
I just came back from a long trip overseas, and while it would've been nice to not have to lug twenty pounds of books along with me, I would never trade my bookshelves for that convenience. If electronic versions of the books came with the hard copy, that'd be nice.


Circumventing DRM is easy. Also, it's legal to do it for certain fair-use purposes, since the copyright office published more exemptions to the DMCA.

But there's the rub. Alice wants Bob to buy Pirates of the
Caribbean from her. Bob will only buy Pirates of the Caribbean if
he can descramble the CSS-encrypted VOB -- video object -- on his
DVD player. Otherwise, the disc is only useful to Bob as a
drinks-coaster. So Alice has to provide Bob -- the attacker --
with the key, the cipher and the ciphertext.

Hilarity ensues.

removed because of T O S violation. RIGHT... so i want to watch it and here youtube is again being a bitch to dmca laws.

>> ^spoco2:

OK, so
a) This won't last long on YouTube what with their fear of boobs and bits


Actually, I expect a music company to file a DMCA claim more than anything else.

Somehow I doubt the Force will be strong enough to prevent 20th Century Fox from filing a DMCA claim on this. Oh well, enjoy it while we can.

Fixed and thanks. Hopefully, this foreign server won't get DMCA'ed easily.

If only there were a significant party on the side of Liberty, maybe we could make some progress, but first I guess we need a significant slice of the population to be interested in Liberty.

The American people do not want Liberty. Not the Democrats, the Republicans, the left, the right, the conservatives, the progressives or any other label you can come up with. Our aversion to Liberty is only to be outdone by the commercial sector and corporate interests.

American Government, state or federal, regardless who has been in control, has been aggressively increasing its size and power particularly in the last 30 years. The War on Drugs and general drug law, DMCA, PATRIOT Act, anything to do with Dept of Homeland Security, War on Terror, Free Speech Zones, Same-sex Marriage bans, AZ's Guilty-Until-Proven-Innocent immigration law, ban on Gays in the Military, Communications Decency Act, sodomy laws, prostitution laws... and I could go on but I want to go to bed soon.

By and large we're happy to surrender our liberties so that the government can "protect" us from terrorists, gays, Mexicans, Muslims, drugs, and any and all forms of responsibility.

Anyone who thinks it's only the "other party" that's the problem is lying to themselves or terribly uninformed.
