The very nature of the service means copyrighted material will be uploaded, but I have seen videos get removed so there must be something happening.
Quick sombody sue facebook and get rid of it!
Quick, someone sue Tim Berners-Lee for creating the internet - it's quite obviously used extensively to copy and distribute copyrighted material illegally! It must be stopped!
Surely the sensible course of action here is for someone to create a set of guidelines for service providers: basically they need dedicated staff to receive complaints of infringement, remove the videos and warn / ban the accounts that uploaded them. If Viacom is worried about the infringement of its copyright material then it can probably afford to hire a couple of mooks whose entire job is to search through user-uploaded content on sites like YouTube, note any copyright-infringing material, then send daily lists to the service providers asking for the removal of the content.
I really fail to see what the problem is, here...
I just love that Viacom thinks they can upload crap and cite that as an infringement of their copyright. It is hands down, the most ridiculous example of why the whole copyright crap is hopelessly inadequate.
