Lawyers are nuts!
It´s a huge absurd the idea of making the open content websites responsible for what the users put into it. If people keep with this small mind, we´ll go back to the time when only the big media groups could broadcast their opinions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.58.167.23 (talk) 18:45, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

A Digital Democracy is coming.
That quote is right on the money, the blogs and Youtube are killing the networks to an extent, but its a paradigm shift, i mean radio didn't sue TV over an extension of its works, and even to this day despite a century Radio is still going strong, true it's not as it was, but by the end of anything is it as it was at the beginning? We make movies based off of books and plays and yet Broadway still goes strong, its because they don't offer the exact same service. in fact what I'm doing now is a perfect example, I'm writing a comment on Wikinews when I could watch the news, or when I could hear the news on NPR. What we are headed towards is a Digital Democracy, where because of bandwidth and computers, we can each have a voice, where our decisions ARE our decisions and not our politicians, where what we say and what we speak are one and the same, an era of complete interaction on each and every inch or centimeter on this earth regardless if one is in the middle of the United states, Europe or in Siberia.

Change is the only perpetual force in the universe, despite the inertia of the old regimes. Not even Thermodynamics can stop change for it is that powerful.

Thats the problem with copyright
Whenever you have copyright, the internet will be restricted. Whenever you have government, you will have copyright.Anonymous101  20:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

YouTube
YouTube does fufill its end of the bargain in the DMCA. Being an avid YouTuber myself, I have uploaded over 120 videos. Some my own, some not. But there have been a few instances when I've uploaded music videos, and when the video has completed processing, it says that it violates their copyright policy. Or even after a few hours my video is removed. YouTube holds up its end of the deal and I don't believe that Viacom has the right to sue if YouTube screens its uploads and removes copyrighted videos.—204.108.65.74 14:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
