Why Copyright Infringement is a touchy subject?

While discussing cases of copyright infringement over a dinner meeting the other night, I was told that when such cases go public and pushes thru in the courts, it becomes a sensitive issue — it’s because all of us have committed some copyright infringement of some sort at one time or another.

Will local TV networks & YouTube work?

Ok, it’s basically just ABS CBN actually. It’s been widely covered by other fellow bloggers since December last year. Rickey just sent me an update on that as well.

I guess the saying that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks also applies to media giants like ABS CBN. No wonder they’re not doing good in the ratings war and fiscally as well. YouTube is great for marketing and if you don’t believe in the long tail effect, you’re missing a lot of opportunities. I know the network needs to earn some more dough (to be able to pay its huge debts?) so locking off everyone and requiring them to subscribe to be able to view the episodes seems to be a logical maneuver to do.

I just hope that they did their homework first and checked how much they would gain and would lose if they did it their way. I’m not saying I’m pro-piracy or anything. ABS CBN can do whatever they want to do with their own properties. I’m just saying they need to adapt their mind-set with the changing times. They can’t even stop those pirated DVDs in Baclaran and Quiapo for years, how much more in the realm of cyberspace.

They should take a hint from CBS.
