Although I had nothing to do with what transpired, someone found a way to access my login/password for a forum and started posting maliciously. Luckily after doing an IP trace and looking @ my network's address (which is static), I was exonerated. I realised that in the end it's not worth viewing viral video that I am unsure of it being copyrighted or not.</p> Yeah I was in a similar situation last year with a big company.

To, note the article, it is a joke, Veoh knows about the illegal content and they do remove it, but they also ignore the fact how people override their security measures, which is a known fact, using veohproxy, and njhelper. They know of these things and the websites and how they achieve the workarounds for the Veoh servers, but yet Veoh does nothing but silence people who talk about it within their forums. It is my belief someone at Veoh allows these sites to operate, all still by handling DMCA notices.

Don't get me wrong; it's not that I'm not interested in the average person's opinion on this, it's just that the judge isn't. There are a lot of legal streaming sites on the web, now; HULU, Fox, CBS, etc. But there are also a lot of sites that link to media that isn't neccessarily authorized. Sometimes it's not easy to tell the difference. If you do wind up watching media that was uploaded in violation of copyright law can you get in trouble ? I'm assuming you haven't uploaded or downloaded anything to the site and you don't have anything to do with it's actual existence; you just wound up on a page that you didn't know was violating copyrights and watched the show in ignorance. Can you be in trouble for that ? I have a question for anyone who is truly qualified to answer.
