You own how many? More nonsense from someone who has no clue as to what IS a copyright, who can GET a copyright, how long it's good for, and what it protects. Get informed. There are no copyrights on HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB or TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR etc.
Those are public domain and as they are way old...cant be copyrighted. You can however copyright your arrangement and/or performance of your version...but have to give credit to the original.
Speak about something you know about...
MS (owner of over 150 copyrights on music and original novels...including a trademarked band name).
The CAS will take content that people might be pirating, like a blockbuster movie or popular album, and looks for computers that are uploading it using peer-to-peer filesharing software like BitTorrent.

I get it, actors and directors and producers yada yada all need their pay checks so on and so forth...I don't know what to tell you, except that it's not stealing. Someone paid for it, and they decided to gift it to the rest of us. I can guarantee you that most of those developers and actors won't miss a dime.

I am sooo not tech savy or anything so i am a little confused. Please bare with me.
What is the difference in me buying a dvd and loaning it to my friends to watch, OR making it available online for my friends to watch? Isnt it the same thing?
Wait, the CAS can falsely flag me?
We don't know for sure until it's deployed, but there's reason to be concerned that the CAS isn't perfect. The creators of the CAS software, MarkMonitor, got some egg on their face recently when they sent a stern, automated letter to Google that essentially said "stop linking to this site, because it streams HBO's copyrighted content!" The site? HBO.com.

Originally posted by XL5They are already starting to go down the road of intellectual property scaryness far outside of downloading/copying issue. They are charging people who buy used games $9.99 to access the online part of the game just because they say used games hurt the devs of the game! When it is an accepted practice, say goodbye to libraries, used cars and maybe houses.
