Case Against Video-Sharing Site Dismissed
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "A California copyright infringement case brought by an adult video maker against a video sharing web site, Veoh Networks, has been thrown out, based upon the 'safe harbor' provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ('DMCA'). In a 33-page decision (PDF), the Court concluded that Veoh was covered by the DMCA, and had carried out its duties to comply with takedown notices in a reasonable manner. The Court rejected the plaintiff's arguments showing possible ways that users could do an end-around, saying that the law requires 'reasonable' compliance, rather than perfection, and noted that the DMCA is 'designed to facilitate the robust development and world-wide expansion of electronic commerce, communications, research, development, and education in the digital age'."

So ?
I didn't realize that it was supposed to.
"Not to mention that it encourages immoral behavior like adultery, whoremongery, and fornication. Yes there is scripture that discourages pr0n, but I am refraining from using the search while at work."
Just curious: do you align yourself with the camp that feels that violent video games and movies should be outlawed because they (in a certain few's opinions) "encourage immoral behaviour" as well ?
Oh and the scripture you're referring to is Mathew 19:9
"And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
