Google recently published their takedown requests for May 2012 . Out of 1.2 million I guess there's quite a few 'exceptions' in that lot as well. Personally, I would say the only reason those 'exceptions' are known about is that they happen to involve celebrities.

Firstly, here's a working link to the correct page

So not actual figures/proof then.

Yet more guesswork. Get back to us when you have some facts to work with

No, but then I don't have time to go through them all. This looks like a good candidate and after just 15 mins of browsing the data it's a blog about business growth that basically has nothing but links so it looks like we're back to linking to another web site is copyright infringement. Unfortunately until it's available here we won't really know.

The other thing is that Google do have a record of complying with legitimate take down requests.

While there is no way on earth they can totally remove all copyrighted content from Youtube (short of shutting down the service), they probably get a lot of leeway because they can show they have procedures in place to reduce copyright infringment.

It's called DMCA safe harbour and yet that didn't help Megaupload. But then they dared to take Universal to court for taking their video off YouTube*.

I'd give up on quoting sources if I were you, this ain't wikipedia. Anyone with any level of sense or intelligence will be able to find it themselves, and others will ignore and deny anything they don't agree with anyway.

Bearing in mind at least one of the posters he is discussing this with he probably does need to provide the sources. Of course the sensible thing to do would be to walk away from the thread.

Not that I use TPB, I just don't like being told where I can and can't surf.

But then people would have read and maybe believed a load of the rubbish that has been posted.

It is the "done thing" (ie normal) to provide reputable sources to back up any claims made because, of course, this is the internet where anyone can claim anything.

Exactly the point and applies to both sides of any discussion.

"I would say" is an opinion, not a guess.

If people keep acting like a bunch of 10 year olds then this thread will be closed.

Thats a fact, not guesswork.

qasdfdsaq · 31-05-2012, 13:55

Meh, I would say it should have been closed weeks ago.

carlwaring · 31-05-2012, 14:39

And I would say I agree with you
