Vimeo Sued For Audio Infringement

USS_Natas writes "Capitol Records and other labels have sued Vimeo in federal court, charging that the site's emphasis on 'original works' only extends to videos, and that songs are widely used on Vimeo without a license. The plaintiffs hope to prove that Vimeo staffers know about the infringement, since they've been doing it themselves." NewTeeVee has a PDF of the court filing in a Scribd frame.

Nah, the real money's in owning that sound. Then you can sue every iPhone programmer to make an app, and Apple. You'll be able to buy Steve Jobs.

iPullMyFinger for the iPhone. Oh I can smell the cash in that one.

The big winner in the wtf app-space was the even more imaginatively named iFart.

I guess if the purchase of an iPhone made you wonder if maybe your friend was a douche-bag, their purchase of something like iFart takes the question off the table for you.
