Google ads bring their rewards
p2pnet news | Advertising:- Google is, quite literally, flush with success.
Advertisers everywhere are paying it big bucks to have their messages thrust in front of potential buyers.
Are the potential buyers paying attention?
One wouldn’t have thought so, but the answer would seem to be in the affirmative given that Google, which forces advertising on the online world, whether the online world wants it or not, is rolling in the proceeds.
“Less than two weeks after its stock price smashed through $600 for the first time, Google Inc. showed why it might not be long before the Internet search leader’s shares are flirting with $700,” says Associated Press, adding:
“Even with more people enjoying the summer weather instead of surfing the Web, Google churned out another quarter of astounding earnings and revenue growth likely to propel its stock to new heights Friday.”
“Google has come out with a special kind of corporate DRM (Digital Restrictions Management),” p2pnet posted on Tuesday, going on its YouTube launched an application, “it claims will automatically remove copyrighted clips”.
But, added p2pnet, “The tools also give the owners of copyrighted video the option to sell ads around their material if they want the clips to remain available on YouTube.”

Google ads might bring their own rewards but it has turned their search engine into a piece of crap. When you search for something, get 10 pages and the first 6 are ads, not the subject matter you are looking for, that makes it worse than useless.
I’ve dropped google because its service is now serving ads, not information.

The one reason I never use Internet advertising like Google’s is because it relies on annoying or tricking the user. Most Internet users “black out” ads like Google ads unless they’re tricked into clicking them, through search results with ads embedded like they’re legit results or otherwise, and when they DO click on them, they realize they’ve been had and back out. The click brings the money into Google’s pockets, but the click doesn’t necessarily end in a sale, so what good is it to the advertising business that paid Google in the first place? Has ANYONE had major success with Google ads? How long before Google’s ads permeate the extents of the Internet to the point that people learn to black them out entirely, and Google’s ad profits begin a race to the bottom?

Lets analyze this and see how it works. Iam an independent artist and songwriter. I make and sell my own records, with my own songs.
Someone includes my songs in a video, without my authorization. That someone, the pirate, places the video on YouTube.
Surely the pirate will not ask YouTube to filter out copies of his own videos because he/she caanot be be against infringement, because he/she is an infringer.
I, on the other hand will not ask YouTube to filter out copies of the video, as that would require me to send YouTube a copy of the video, and that would make me an infringer for copying a video without authorization of the owner of the video. The fact I own the song in the video does not make me the owner of the video, right?
Also I cannot send YouTube a recording for YouTube to compare any video against it for filtering purposes.
By now, Iam loosing my train of thought. Can anyone explain why? Will anyone catch the pirate?
