IT100 ASSIGNMENT

Briefly describing the article.. I believe that there should be limitations on pirated movies that are posted online. I believe that Google should stop being ignorant and should join the MPAA and agree that all websites use on unified way for tracking pirated movies online. If Google continues to use its own version then like it says in the article, other websites will create their own way as well. This will enable people to chose and find which sight is more lenient and that sight will be the most common.

My experience with YouTube is that some video clips that are posted are immediately taken down. One example is MLB clips. One blogger posted his own video of a pitcher warming up during spring training and it was immediately taken down because of the rights that MLB has.

This is similar to music in that music was readily and easily downloaded in the late 90's for free, and then they came down hard on it and now you have itunes stores etc... and now with this explosion of video sites, i dont think that making people pay for it is the answer, i believe that putting commercials or viewing in the creators website is the correct answer to this problem.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ps this is a college assignment so i had to put it in my blog.
