As if our friends at Google are losing a fight any time soon? 

Lets face it, porn IS the internet aside from codes, and cute fuzzy animals...

Only Napster will lose these types of cases in court (unless I'm mistaken, and I know someone will correct me on that). From a cheapskate's point of view, why pay for porn when I can get it for free?

Paris Sucks Too

I found Veoh a while back after quicksilverscreen dropped below the radar... interesting site ... but when it comes to the "copyrite infringment" argument I think one is on rather 'dodgy' ground because the 'quality' is sufficient only to give the viewer a general 'feel' for the story. Streaming speeds are often lower than viewing speed too so it can be an enourmously frustrating experience. What it does do, however, is give me an excellent 'preview' of movies I might like to see or purchase at a later 'date'. As for Paris... obviously I'd like a 'date', a 'quality' 'feel' and a 'dodgy' 'preview'.

Isn't it refreshing. Great work, Cade. Lets have more of this and less of the offensive name calling.

RE: Not much to see here. 

This isn't really relevant to the YouTube case - one the main provisions of the Fair Harbor provision is that it doesn't apply if you actively police the network. Veoh doesn't. YouTube does (to take down porn).

Hence the defense Veoh have used isn't relevant for YouTube…

Not when talking about Chelsea it isn't.

for plain-vanilla reporting. There is only one Register! (If you'll notice, the motto is still there... biting the hand etc., etc....) Reg, please do not let some boring coffin-dodgers unduly influence the reporting, thx =D

"Veoh doesn't." 

Uh, unless Veoh scammed the judge and Io didn't pick up the lie either, Veoh definitely DO police their site and far more assiduously than the DMCA safe harbour requires.

Which was all in the fucking article.

But that would have slowed down your paytard rant against anything not of the Holy Blessed MAFIAA.
