هل تم حجب موقع youtube عن السودان ؟؟؟؟؟

Quote: The Bad News - Copyright Infringement These 100 million daily video views aren’t people watching kittens fall aleep. Most of the popular videos on YouTube contain copyrighted material that YouTube shouldn’t be presenting in the first place. This isn’t just music videos and Saturday Night Live skits - if music is playing in the background while someone is dancing around, that’s still copyright infringement. YouTube has some protection under U.S. law since they merely host this material posted by users. As long as they comply with the DMCA and take down copyrighted material promptly when requested, they are protected. That’s why you’ll often find your favorite bookmarked videos have vanished when you go back to the site. YouTube has made significant efforts recently to reach out to copyright owners and has secured a couple of deals to mitigate the copyright issues they face. Nonetheless, Universal Music Group has recently slammed YouTube as a copyright infringer, and Mark Cuban, among others, has jumped solidly on the anti-YouTube bandwagon. Adding to the problem is the fact that DMCA protection isn’t absolute. When YouTube puts ads on pages that contain copyrighted materials (see here), they are in risk of losing the protections of the DMCA. See this post for a more detailed description of how the DMCA works in relation to YouTube. What does all of this mean? It means that YouTube must secure deals with copyright holders if they are going to go big time revenue-wise. So Is YouTube For Sale Or Not? Of course it is. YouTube can’t even think about going public until they fix their copyright woes by securing appropriate deals with the right parties, and then generating real revenues and profits. That’s a long way off. If someone were to offer them $1.5 billion in the meantime… The valuation isn’t crazy based on at least one comparison, by the way. Grouper’s recent sale to Sony for $65 million suggests a YouTube valuation of around $2 billion when you look at relative traffic. YouTube may get their $1.5 billion in the near future. But first they’ll have to find a buyer with a strong stomach for IP wars, and an even stronger legal team.
