haihai··on YouTube wins case against Viacom
Are you a lawyer that's familiar with DMCA issues?

Loooking at a site like Justin.tv, and this judgment, even with the kind of blatant infringement visible here: http://www.justin.tv/directory/all

Would you, as their lawyer, feel quite safe that they would win any potentials lawsuits against them?

And given the obviousness of the infringement does the fact that there are money-making ads on the infringing content make it so they're knowingly profiting from infringement, thus invalidating the DMCAs safe harbor?

haihai··on Ask HN: Is there a great open source crawler?
I considered 80legs. The problem is that I don't want to do this for just one site. I may have dozens. I can run this off my own servers/bandwidth (which I already pay for) for much cheaper than using 80legs.

If 80legs was purely usage based and cheaper I probably would have used it.
