But if Foc really wanted to nail someone they shouldgo after the first person that uploaded the torrent of all the episodes on the torrent networks. Wasnt that hard to see who it was. 1 seed and 300 peers. Not hard to figure out who the seed was. Unless he is like most of the uploaders and use proxies. keepvid.com displays the link to download the videos and VLC plays flv files quite nicely.

With just a short 2-step process, I can have an .mpg of anything on that site... but the quality's so shitty, it isn't worth the effort. “can’t be copyed”?

Advertisers pulling out from 24 left and right? Retailers yanking 24 DVDs from their shelves? Panic on Wall Street? Capitalism falls and communism reigns supreme? Fat chance. Fox's real beef here is a simple one. Google/YouTube is a major competitor to Murdock's MySpace service. And never mind that Internet-hosted content is a big fat competitor to television broadcasting in general. So this isn't about righting wrongs. It isn't about restoring lost profits. It's about hassling the competition, and spooking their customers. There should be a word for this. How about SLACC--Strategic Lawsuit Against Competing Concerns? So that's the real problem. The solution: Many American states have enacted anti-SLAPP laws to reduce the potential to abuse the courts to stifle free speech. SLAPP plaintiffs must prove at an early stage in the proceedings that their suits have merit. Prove? Merit? Perish the thought! What good copyright plaintiff would ever want to have to do that?! Anti-SLACC laws, modeled after current anti-SLAPP legislation, will help prevent abuse of the courts to stifle fair competition, new business models, and technological innovation, by forcing plaintiffs to come to court with an actual case.

The filter that Google is rumored to be working on could instead be used to identify content and associate it with AdSence ads that support that respective copyright holder. That way, copyright holders are supported but distributive control is still given to the users, as they will not be barred from uploading copyrighted content. This idea could even be expanded to include amateur videos as well, but for now it's more important to try and soothe the savage beast that is the TV network industry.
