Tax Reform in This Election Year: It's Not Likely
Which Credit Card Rewards Does the IRS Care About?
I grew-up in Los Angeles and remember the riot in 1992. One video that got much coverage was of a truck driver, Reginald Denny, who was attacked brutally.
Fast-forward to today. Recently, the video wound up on the most popular video site, YouTube.com (the video had more than 1,000 views).
The problem: a helicopter pilot, Robert Tur, owns the rights to the video. And he filed a lawsuit against YouTube.com.
With the enormous growth and popularity of YouTube.com (it's much bigger than other biggies, like Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google), it's inevitable to see a plethora of lawsuits. In the case of the Denny video, the plaintiff will have some difficulties, though. YouTube.com will likely claim it is a mere hosting service and under federal law, it is not responsible for the infringements of its users. After all, YouTube.com did not make money from the video.
That's the good news.
