Comment Amazon HQ2 Should Be in Alabama (Score 1) 201

Amazon should take the HQ2 to another city, perhaps in Alabama where the German rocket scientists went after World War II.

The plaintiff does not need to locate the person ultimately responsible prior to making their claim of infringement.

The passage you cited only permits YouTube to display the user's content. Another section of the TOS prohibit use of the material unless done through YouTube. Section 5B of the TOS: "You shall not copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any Content for any other purposes without the prior written consent of YouTube or the respective licensors of the Content. YouTube and its licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted in and to the Service and the Content." Section 6C: "For clarity, you retain all of your ownership rights in your Content." The copyright law cited is fairly clear. Removal of the copyright notice is a violation, and the act of removal also indicates willfullness and intent.

What I am saying is that if the FBI gets a back door to do good things, then they also greatly increase the chance of crimes being committed by criminals who use the same back door the FBI uses. I am also saying that is that without back doors, a rogue FBI agent violating his authority can do damage to people and the nation, but that a rogue FBI agent violating his authority and with back doors can do extremely large amounts of damage to people and the nation.
