Free advertising. Get over it.
I would kill to get that many people to watch my music.
Some network execs are crying over their spilt milk right now because they did not come up with the idea of youtube. Wait a sec news flash....... Could it be it's so popular because it's also free?! Things that make you go Hmmmmmmm.
Oh geez Viacom is definitely TEH SUCK! They didn't get as much $$$ as they wanted, so they demand DMCA Takedown. Fine. When GooTube becomes a major site for entertainment, i won't ****ing bother going to Viacom's site. Come to think of it, I don't watch MTV & what's the last decent movie they've made in the past 5 years? They need to STFU & stick to producing good content. Fox & the other media companies will reach agreements & leave Viacom in the dust.
"limelight Free advertising. Get over it. " Free advertising is not free,the gray death(suits) make money off their lil deals with each other and any free Free advertising makes them lose money they have not yet gotten,like the "losses" over a downloaded song.
viacom is making a mistake. other comoanies will make the deals and they will be left out.
I'd rather watch something like this than what Viacom puts on MTV. As for people watching videos & not buying them, well if the content is good then honest people will buy. Are they going to shut down the entire Internet to stampede every file sharer offline?
If that's the case, I will never watch or talk about another Hollywood movie or show ever again. If my gf asks me to go to the movies i'll say "No. Because they shut down the Internet to get rid of all the file sharers. Let's go to a restaurant & screw Viacom!
LOL
>.< I think that Viacom is run by a bunch of greedy fools who cannot think of anything better to do than sit on their lard and gain riches.
