Link: Techdirt: Misplaced Blame All Over The Place For Online Videos.
...
First up, we have the producer of a movie suing Google in France over the fact that his movie was available on Google Video. .. The guy shouldn't be suing Google, but whoever uploaded the video. It's like suing Sony because someone used a Sony camcorder to videotape a movie. ...
Meanwhile, the situation in Italy is perhaps even more ridiculous. ...
Yes, once again, this has absolutely nothing to do with Google, and it's ridiculous to think that anyone at Google should be responsible for what some users did with Google's tool. ...
Ironia della sorte, ciò accade mentre un gruppo di addetti ai lavori fa una proposta (dmin.it) che e' allo stato dell'arte nel mondo e che e' stata presentata alla conferenza Europa-Cina sulla proprietà intellettuale..
(this happens while a group of italian experts are releasing a coherent set of recommendations on how to develop digital media in Italy, see www.dmin.it)...
Hey world, we're not that ridicolous... there's a lot of good thinking going on in Italy! (ok, let's say we're good at hiding it..)
