I was unable to copy a youtube video in my usual way because of this “Embedding disabled by request”. I still located the video on my hard-drive though, it was in “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp” and was called fla1B.tmp. But I was unable to copy this as an error message stated a “sharing violation”. Once I closed the youtube website with the video, fla1B.tmp disappeared so I was again out of luck. If the “sharing violation” could be overcome then I could copy it elsewhere and give it an .flv extension and i’d be laughing. Any ideas ??

Napster only screwed up file sharing for services that used central database servers. Then Grokster screwed up file sharing for peer-to-peer, decentralized services if the software providers encourage copyright infringement. Now, file sharing thrives on services like Limewire, which is both decentralized and actively discourages copyright infringement (in order to use the service, you have to check a box saying that you won’t infringe copyrights).

It makes more economic sense to watch the law develop, rather than buy the leading company and send in lawyers.

Thanks Craig. Guess this is old news.

Erik. That’s not the first time I’ve heard that opinion, but I think it’s 100% right, couldn’t agree more!

Naw - disabling embedding has been available on youtube for a while now.

If they disabled it entirely then it would probably hurt sites like http://www.infectiousvideos.com that allow embedding of youtube clips (and other sites) - and give the users 50 percent of the revenue.

I have a theory that the reason Google bought YouTube was to be able to control the litigation surrounding online video. Clearly YT will be the lightning rod for online video litigation. It was not acceptable to Google to have a third party control what the position of the industry was before the court. Google feels the space is too important to let YT’s lawyers handle it.

Napster screwed up online music and file sharing for everyone, not just for napster.
