Youtube is getting SUPER SUED. Viacom clames that most of the vid.'s watched on the tube are copyrighted material. Oh noes! It sounds like it might be getting shut down.

Read the article here.

EDIT: Put the wrong article. The right one is listed now.

LLaMaSaUceYup · 07-5-2008, 05:48 PM

Awwh, no fun! ;[, my friend told me about this earlier, I didn't like the news.
Viacom felt like having more money?

Xx{Midday}xX · 07-5-2008, 05:53 PM

nicovideo and zoome rules over all in quality, interface, and download availability.

KurenaiHime · 07-5-2008, 05:56 PM

I see...Well...I kinda was listening to youtube a lot, but I suppose there are better sites. ^^

**customstuff** · 07-5-2008, 06:04 PM

Always Metacafe if that happens.

Izzy · 07-5-2008, 06:18 PM

Youtube is supported by google. So i think they will be fine.

That is true.

Lmao. Even though that's old, I never liked YouTube anyway.

**Frozen Beat** · 07-6-2008, 11:25 AM

I was watching my show, then all the sudden, when I tried to watch the next episode:

*this video is no longer available because of a copyright to sunrise*

Me:...wut?...*twitch...*

Google and Youtube are two of the most visited sites in the world. With google backing it, and millions of people on it constantly, it would be odd to see Youtube fall.

What may realisitically happen is that everything copyrighted gets shut down. But at least we'll still have Daxflame even if that does happen:
