Video sharing in Spainext_745319August 13 2011, 23:43:41 UTC
I think I send the last comment twice. Ir maybe I didn't send it at all?? I'm new at LJ. Anyways, I think I got the links wrong, sorry for the trouble.
The laws about copyright in Spain are very strict and we are moving all the video sharing hosts abroad. That article it's too optimistic, the new laws allow the Government to close any site without the need of a judge. Even if later they have to re open it, before you have to spend years going to trials and paying lawyers.
I'm pretty sure about this because I'm studying Law, and that's the kind of stuff we spend hours talking about in the seminaries. You may find a way, but you have to hide everything like we do because at least in this country it's still illegal. A judge can't change a law, never.

I did actually receive notifications about your three messages in my email, but oddly enough only the third one has actually shown up here.
Hm, well I did suspect it was probably too good to be true to believe that there might be a safe haven in the European Union. If there is one anywhere, it would be in some country in open political opposition to the U.S. - however, those are also the countries that tend to have bad internet networks, so wouldn't be likely to have any sites like that.
The best hope at this point, I think, is if Youtube's Content ID system becomes a popular distribution method, and companies choose to put ads on content that belongs to them instead of removing it. I think the problem might be that the ads are too short right now - think about how many ads there are on television. It will probably require just as many ads to make the distribution system just as attractive for copyright holders.
I hope the guys at Youtube figure it out.
Meanwhile, if you're trying to find something, make sure you check the lists

Hey, Motion Brigades here. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I won't be making another channel but if there were some rare pieces you'd like to get copies of to reupload I'd be happy to help. justinjezewski@gmail.com

Did the Funtik's managers guess about it?

It then says that this wouldn't be very good because the companies that had already paid to use the rights would not get their money's worth.
Seems to me there's a simple solution: refund the companies whatever they paid.
But... I doubt that something of that magnitude will happen, really. It would be too good to be true.
