The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Okay, so it's legal for me to video tape a show and watch it by myself, or give it to my friends - as long as I don't charge for it...
but it's not right for me to DVR a show, cut out a favorite clip and then share it with my friends and more via YouTube?
Seems to me these companies are perhaps rightfully going after ad revenue, but really hurting their image in the process.

yeah really, its not like these people are making money by posting these videos, and its pretty obvious they arent the ones who made it and who the video belongs to, so whats the big deal?

Geez... who wrote this, Sumner Redstone? It's so sympathetic toward Viacom that it may as well be a press release.

Who cares -- turn off the TV and go outside -- go on a walk or bike ride, get some fresh air. Or read a book or play a game.
TV is entertaining, but if the studios want to be annoying, just ignore them.

The big deal is your missing their stupid advertising, which is what all sane people are trying to get around. So put a hurtin on viacom by starting another video download site people to avoid the media ad trash. The MUTE button on your tv controller is the most powerfull anti George Bush viacom trash ad destroyer out there.

Everyone seems to be missing the huge loophole... All the material that was taken down from Youtube is still up in form or another on Google Video. Heck just do a search for "comedy central" and it comes up with tons of copyrighted clips. Seems like someone dropped the ball on this one. Why would you demand a company take down your clips from one of its websites and not the other? Props to Google for not pointing out the obvious to Viacom, and keeping the clips on Google Video at least.
