How WE will deal with them...

You know? It's Orwellian language like this that makes me glad I might, some day, escape this world of increasing fingers tightening around my throat. Squeezing every drop of blood from a stone.

Universal seek MySpace, YouTube royalties

 

The chief of Universal Music Group, the world's largest record label, has hinted that the company may sue viral video sharing site YouTube for copyright infringement.

 

"We believe these new businesses are copyright infringers and owe us tens of millions of dollars," said UMG boss Doug Morris, speaking at a conference this week. "How we deal with these companies will be revealed shortly."

 

 

First, MAY sue? You KNOW they will because they're seeing easy money.

 

 

Second, BELIEVE anything all you want, doesn't make it so. "We believe they are infringing on our copyrights, even though, IF they somehow were, it is because of how the users are using the service." And, belief is not enough to make a fact. But, when they believe they owe them tens of millions of dollars, they REALLY want it to be a fact.

 

 

Third, we KNOW how they will deal with it. Suing dead users, YouTube executives who never existed, random people in the center of the US who never had a computer, 90 year old women, etc. After all, WHY would they sue YouTube for tens of millions when they sue tens of thousands of people signed up to the service for ten thousand bucks a pop to make the lawsuits go away?

 

 

SHEESH!
