Comments on: Lawyer – The Pirate Bay’s Legal Demise Could Endanger Google and YouTube http://www.zeropaid.com/news/86119/lawyer-the-pirate-bays-legal-demise-could-endanger-google-and-youtube/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 09:39:35 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Alan D.

James Mon, 01 Jun 2009 13:59:03 +0000 http://www.zeropaid.com/?p=86119#comment-191579 My understanding of the court ruling is that Pirate Bay, as the service (or product) provider is responsible for the use to which their service (or product) is put, irrespective of the fact that they have no control of the way a user might choose to use the service (or product). If this is the case when can we expect Colt, Ruger, Winchester, Husqvarna et. al. to be cited as co-defendants in the next murder by shooting case, since they knowingly provide a service (or product) that can kill?

These companies clearly remove copyright upon notification, have implemented technology to filter 'known' copyright material and clearly do not stick 2 fingers up when asked to remove material. On the other hand TPB have been unco-operative from day one doing their best to challenge copyright owners to a fight, which they got. It is a shame that legitimate sites like Youtube are looked at in the same light, they could not be further apart.

Google seems like a good candidate. Its like if a teacher caught you chewing gum, and you said that the principal was chewing it too. Blame the most powerful person you can think of. lol.

If a site makes a profit from advertising on the content, than a portion of that profit should be allocated to copyright holders. People can keep running their site, they can't get shut down in favor of a monopolistic goal of some corporation, everyone gets a piece of the pie.
