It is now illegal to link to a website that displays illegal content. But what about the sites that are actually housing the video uploads? Oh wait, they’re owned by Google, and sites like YouTube have already paid off the MPAA to turn their head.
Yep, their crime was to linking to copyrighted material hosted on YouTube, Google Video and similar websites. Seriously - all the copyright owners need to do is go to straight to the source and send them a DMCA lawyergram. Hell, this is easier than dealing with torrent sites because each of this videos is hosted by a corporate entity! But I guess it is just easier to bully the little guy. Unfortunately, the site's operator was also arrested.
This is so annoying, I really liked that site. Oh well, shit happens.
