Slashdot Mirror

It's possible that Viacom will see the slashdot story and will not send future takedowns for this video.

Yeah, and maybe Tara Conner will come over to my house and be my sex slave.

It's possible that readers of this story have also gotten videos taken down unfairly but only now realize they aren't isolated cases.

And? If there's only one person that's affected and they really care, they should still do something about it. Or maybe you think they should get together and form a class action that will net them each a $12 coupon off any Viacom DVD (and $2.5M for their lawyers).

It's possible readers will contribute money to legal defense funds for this case or others like it.

Legal defense against what? If there's legal action, they'd be the plaintiffs. If they want people to contribute to their legal offense fund... oops, they don't have one. Just a bunch of whining.

It's possible that in a free society that one method of redressing wrongs is to bring attention to those wrongs to a wider audience.

That would look something like this.

It's possible that the public image of Viacom will be so damaged that they will be more careful about takedown notices in the future.

And maybe Katie Rees will come over and help Tara Conner take care of my ballsack.

It's possible that in a society with a free press the government will move to restrain the actions of corporations that are being abusive, but only when the outcry has reached a sufficient level.

It's possible that "When buying and selling are controlled by legislatures, the first thing to be bought and sold are legislators" -- P.J. O'Rourke.

when buying and selling are controlled by legislatures, the first thing to be bought and sold are legislators.

It's possible that I'm the one pointing the useless whining without action to back it up, and it annoys useless douchebags like you that masturbate to drama.
