How the hell are you supposed to know if material is copyrighted or not? Music videos is one thing, but...

 

Seriously, this is like Nintendo suing FF.net and then suing people who read Nintendo-based fanfics.

 

Look at all the brands Viacom owns:

NICK AT NITE

NOGGIN

And someone actually wrote an article "You go, Viacom!" on the subject.

What if you're using a public computer?

Then the I.P address would screw them over..

Besides; You can mostly Lie on you're internet profile applications aswell.

If you were smart; You'd be pretty hard to trace.

Either way' date=' it's no big deal.

To be honest, I've never even heard of viacom.

Its really easy to trace an IP address even if the person you're tracing is smart. You dont even have to have any type of professional equiptment. Odds are you wont get sued anyway :|

I guess this probably pretty obvious' date=' but does it effect Wiis, PS3s, and Xbox 360s (hey it rhymed) using their respective internet browsers?

 

I use my Wii to watch videos on Youtube, and I'm pretty sure it has an IP address.

Yes, it affects all of your gaming systems, because they run through your modem, giving it an IP address.

Guys' date=' Guys, as I've posted several times before, "You most likely WONT get sued". If any of you got sued, I would be extremely surprised.

Still............down with vitacom down with vitacom down with vitacom

 

and dont double post

 

Honestly...I can see where Viacom* is coming from with this. People are putting up their videos onto YouTube for free, and Viacom sees a place where they would make money off of it. If you owned a large business like Viacom, you would do the same thing. Don't tell me you wouldnt, because when you own a business its ALL about money. Especially when you own a business like Viacom.

 

Oh yeah, and soz for double post.
