Subject: Re: Video taken down due to Infringement
It's money that what matters. Videos that were taken down are usually
not partners. The reason youtube doesn't take down any of these other
higher viewed videos because they have a business deal with the owner
of the videos. The question is that why would youtube defend the
partners when EMI is a larger, more powerful business then a partner?
Youtube and google get a profit from commercializing those higher
viewed videos with ad revenue. That profit outweighs EMI's Copyright
claim and possible lawsuit to youtube. But Youtuble buys the license
to use the music for the video owner to use. But the reason why they
don't bailout the small videos because its not profitable. Youtube
only cares about the money. Not the user. All of this is in theory
though and I don't really know what Youtube's true intentions are, but
all of this does seem logicial for Youtube to do in my opinion. I hope
this doesn't become another WMG lawsuit to Youtube again. But it
probably will.
