"most of which" indeed. Content-ID is not always accurate (and happily errs in the "content" "owner"'s favor--feel free to Google, or YouTube, that problem). Nintendo can use false matches to destroy people that make original videos without Nintendo images, sounds, etc., by funneling the revenue to them.

Also, "corporate gibberish"? It's three simple sentences that are logically connected to each other.

I'll admit they look English. They're marketer doublespeak, but they do look like grammatically correct English.

At best, all this "on-going push" will "ensure" is that people are chilled at the thought of uploading something with a sound or footage that will trip Content-ID and *wham* no revenue. They also haven't said how permanently they "have chosen not to block people using our intellectual property", so people who have uploaded videos, safe in the knowledge that they've "only" been Content-ID'd and neutered by Nintendo, could be awash in copyright strikes one or two golden-parachuted CEOs later.

Of course, it's not only the fault of the fine folks who brought us 10NES and awful Wii-to-Wii U data transfers; YouTube needs to be taken to task (or at least avoided) for making the chilling Content-ID system.

Besides, Page is the same guy that got into a "shouting match" with Brin (I'll let Slashdot find the WSJ link this time, I've linked it enough) because Brin was getting in the way of sharing personal user info for money.

He's given the viciousness, and now he can go take it like the karma-challenged man he is.

Said ex-bartender is later found in his home, slumped in front of a computer with Vega Strike in fullscreen, dead of an apparent suicide. Hillary Clinton blames the game for driving him melancholy, and promises to ban all such games with robot bartenders. Rand Paul calls it "yet another scary example of government overreach", while Mike Bloomberg calls for his own ban on illegal capship turrets and milspec vessels ("You don't need a Goddard to fly to the bodega," he pleadingly says).

I have the impression that humanity is probably compromised by an assortment of constitution trampling three letter agencies, I just don't get why it keeps getting pushed as some shining beacon of goodness. I have to assume that 1/3 of the people are the feds fishing, 1/3 are criminals fishing and 1/3 are privacy advocates who somehow don't seem to know about the other 2/3.

Please educate me if I am wrong.
