Comments on: Studios unveil their copyright protection guidelines

Google is not among alliance of technology and media companies that released a set of principles for promoting user-generated content while protecting copyright online.

not so sure

"Distributors of copyright-infringing content stifle both technological innovation and artistic creation in ways that ultimately will hurt the consumer and hinder the digital economy."

I am not so sure that statement is true.

maybe it should be F-UGC?

i noticed one of there taglines was "thwart copyright infringement" The only people that use the word are evil corporations.
I noticed their name is "User Generated Content". Would it be more effective if actual "User" created a set of guidelines to resolve content issues?
If they really want to "encourage creativity then perhaps they should try to scare 15 year old with there 15 steps they list on the UGC website so they won't ship you off to jail.

Sounds like collusion to me

This reeks of collusion and needs to be scrutinized by federal anti-trust enforcement agencies.
