This is so f**king ridiculous.
Youtube is the ONLY source of a lot of the stuff that people watch!
I love when companies scream “copyright infringement” on something that YOU CAN NO LONGER BUY! Like old sitcoms and stuff.
Roger that.
What I’m confused about here is that the viewer does not download the file, like they would an MPG via file sharing. I know there’s third party aps. that allow it, but as a rule, the clips are streamed. There’s no transfer of data. So, any “infringement” rests on the original uploader, and YouTube, not the file viewer.
So why would they want a “viewer log”.
There are also individuals' clips that have been uploaded to Youtube and then rebroadcast on The Tonight Show and other programs and even tv ads. Somehow I doubt that some of the creators of those clips were paid initially by the rebroadcaster for their work.
