copyright restirictions
Universal has filed a law suite against two of the main video sharing websites "Grouper " and "Bolt". These are sites are rival to that of Youtube which has recently been bought like myspace by google.com. If universal are sucessful Youtube will be the main video sharing web site. Bootleged copies of artists videos have been circulating the pages. This raises the question once again who is responsible for the copyright infingement. The company itself is getting sued yet videos obviously are uploaded by a person. In Groupers Privacy Policy you give permission for your personal details to be used if "(3) if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person;"(http://www.grouper.com/support/privacy.asp) Keep your eyes open for what you sign up for and how you use sites. You could not only loose your membership but could gain a criminal record also. Without clear internet use and copyright laws, its tough to tell what is copyright and what is not.
