Should there be...

An internatinoally coordinated raid on the Google offices? I mean, they have given file sharers a way to watch copyrighted work on their centralized severs.

Isn't Google smart enough to know that the system would be used in just this way? Did anybody in their right mind think that this wouldn't happen?

Looking at the pictures, and using the service myself, I can tell you that Googles implementation hardly threatens studios, because the video is so small. It is no substitute for watching a DVD, or even low quality TV. It lets you watch the videos, but Google wisely downgraded it. If anyone sues Google for this, they are just being stupid.

Hey, in this society we have people who are so willing to watch hot new movie releases that are being recorded from a video cam. Who can stand such a low quality video image? I know I don't :)
