Comments on: YouTube wants to depose Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart

Hosts of Comedy Central shows are on list of people YouTube attorneys wish to depose in copyright feud with Viacom. Lawyers predict pre-trial phase could take more than a year.

The Benefits to Limited Copying

Perhaps because I live with my head in the sand, but I had never seen The Daily Show before seeing it on YouTube and likely wouldn't have seen it otherwise. Clips of the show were posted to YouTube and links cropped up all over the Internet, so it was a bit hard to miss. As a consequence, Jon Stewart has another fan.

What is considered piracy and what warrants being classified as damaging to copyright holders really deserves careful consideration. A review of the "fair use" laws is probably warranted now that we are in the Internet age. I hope this case goes to the Supreme Court.

Funny.

Kind of funny that Jon Stewart, who ******* and moans about big business is a puppet of Viacom anyways. More hypocrisies from Hollywood/New York.

Take a look around. In 20 years the internet has gone from complete freedom, to relative lock-down. We haven't heard from Yahoo in a while. We need leadership! I think we need new territory charted, once again.
