If I can't post funny pictures anymore my posts per day is going to decrease dramatically, and that can not happen. We must assemble the finest team of internet picture lawyers the world has ever seen.

I just copyrighted (copywrote?) your avatar.

Ha ha....no. I can only imagine how many face plants I'd have to do.

You posted a gif awhile back about a tv crew dancing in the underwear. I would like to see you play all of the roles in that with the appropriate number of people/yous. I'm sure you know some fancy editing techniques.

I was thinking of doing my best Kate Upton gif impression. Followed shortly thereafter by a permaban.

This case perhaps? Viacom International Inc. v. YouTube, Inc. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



This one is still under appeal. The Wikipedia article makes it sound that the hang-up is based on how much infringement was known by the YouTube employees. Safe Harbor protection requires (I think) that the provider (YouTube, or CF in our case) not be aware of the infringement until the copyright holder makes them aware of it. Apparently there were emails between YouTube employees talking about infringement that was not being dealt with, and this opens YouTube to potential liability.

Update: YouTube won the appeal today, but Viacom has vowed to appeal again.
