Chinese Government Already Arresting Dissidents Before Olympics
2008-07-27 18:36:00 http://zennie2005.blogspot.com- - If you remember the video I made where I talked about how the Chinese Government could use IP address data from the Viacom / Google lawsuit to find dissidents and arrest or kill them -- See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1ua_XT1RJIEThen brace yourself because the Chinese have already arrested two Internet dissidents Du Daobin and Ye Guozhu and have done so before the Bejing Olympics. Both dissidents were arrested for "subversion" or writing against the actions of the Chinese Government. Such actions bring into focus the value of the "annoymous blogger" because the idea is that by being just that, one can explain and report in a dissident fashion without the kind of retribution these two gentleman are facing. But the actions of some using the term annoymous have threatened the very ability to use that term. As a momentary aside, people using that term must take care not to abuse its use for mean-sprited purposes. China is clearly concerned abou...
Viacom and Judge Louis L. Stanton Rob YouTube Users of Privacy
2008-07-05 03:59:00 On Thursday July 3rd, U.S. District Court Judge Louis L. Stanton forced YouTube to give Viacom -- which owns shows like "The Daily Show", and "The Colbert Report" -- records that show what videos you and I have been watching. Here in this video , I explain that the implications are dangerous and could help, for example, the Chinese Government find and kill Tibetan protesters. In this, a private company could purchase the data from Viacom and then resell it to the Chinese Government. The Chinese Government could use the IP address information to find the general location of Tibetan protesters, go to their areas, and kill them. That's a possible scenario. I considered the court's "restriction" on use of the material by Viacom. But that's the problem: the block is on how the data is used -- there's no specific prohibition of the sale of the information. The reason for all of these actions, if you've not followed the story is that Viacom has sued YouTube for allegations of c...

Viacom’s Profit Increases 33% With Help From a Video Game
2008-05-04 15:12:00 The NY Times is reporting that Viacom's profits are up thanks in large part to video games.Viacom, the media company controlled by Sumner M. Redstone, said on Friday that its first-quarter profit rose 33 percent on sales of the video game Rock Band and higher ratings at its cable channels. Net income increased to $270 million, or 42 cents a share, from $203 million, or 29 cents, a year earlier, Viacom said. Sales gained 15 percent, to $3.12 billion, exceeding the $2.96 billion average of 18 analysts’ estimates, compiled by Bloomberg. Excluding one-time items, profit of 44 cents a share topped their estimate of 41 cents.Rock Band, a game involving players emulating rock ’n’ rollers with toy instruments, helped increase revenue by 16 percent at Viacom’s media networks business. MTV and Nickelodeon shows attracted more advertising with improved ratings, while box-office receipts for “Cloverfield” and “The Spiderwick Chronicles” helped narrow losses at the film unit.Viacom r...

2008-04-03 08:24:00 I woke up this morning to finish a post and upload a video onto YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/Jo-eprahMan) (shhh ) only to find I have been banned from the site. All my old videos are currently down, but I will have them back up and running soon. Let me take this moment to explain what happened. YouTube, bless their hearts, is a great tool and very useful in a pinch, but they are constantly bombarded by Viacom to protect their holier than thou Copyrighted content. Here is where I get really #@$%ing confused, why am I banned? I tried to post a Yo Gabba Gabba video, as pathetic as that sounds and as hard as it was for me to type those letters together in that sequence without laughing--its true, and even though there are like a thousand Yo Gabba Gabba (http://www.nickjr.com/shows/yo--gabba-gabba/yo-ga-about-the-sh-ow/yo-ga-about-the-show.jhtml)- videos on YouTube, which is why I uploaded mine (again I am pathetic) assuming their would be no issue.

Maher, Leno, Colbert and Stewart going back on the air - no matter how persistent they promote the WGA on their shows - they have done the WGA poorly. But...SCAB is the wrong word. Scabs are those who cross a picket line to take the work and pay of those running the picket lines. Colbert and Stewart - both members of the WGA are not writers for their shows.If you run a blog or a webiste and use YOUTUBE videos you are well aware of the text on your dead video saying it has been removed by request from VIACOM - which I have never experienced that from any other company but VIACOM. They are the copyright monster of the net. Orthodox purists much akin to why the Republican Party is presently falling apart.

YouTube Videos Help Increase TV Viewership
2007-11-14 15:59:00 A recent study indicates that YouTube clips may inspire more TV viewing as clips serve as promotional vehicles for the shows featured in them. Viewership in general rises, as does loyalty. Which means Viacom may have overreacted. The study, conducted by Joel Waldfogel of The Wharton School, surveyed a few hundred University of Pennsylvania students – which makes it a good sample for Viacom's market and a good start on the road to a larger, more definitive sample. Overall, says Waldfogel, traditional weekly television viewing dropped when Web viewing was used as a substitute by about 25 minutes. However, time spent viewing television content on the Web accounts for four hours weekly, and time spent on network-controlled viewing (television plus network websites) increased by 1.5 hours. It's hard to make a case, then, according to this sample, that YouTube clips are damaging TV viewing. YouTubers are actually watching more TV, with more purpose. The clips stand as promoti...
