Wikipedia Edit

Today I edited the Las Vegas, Nevada article, under the city redevolopment section. I talked about the latest construction on the Strip. One of the most famous casinos of all time was imploded to make way for a new 4.4 million dollar mega hotel and casino called the Echelon. Check it out, here is the link to the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas%2C_Nevada#City_redevelopment

Google vs. Viacom

To comment on what we did in class today, i strongly feel as though Viacom has no case against Google/YouTube what so ever. The law plainly states that if YouTube is asked to take anything off of their website and they comply, they can not be held liable. Its that simple. In my opinion, I dont know why Viacom even cares so much. This is free publicity for them and its not like they are losing money from this. I might understand if Viacom had their own website that showed clips from previous shows and they were losing hits, but that is not the case. From Viacoms stand point, this is just like having a product and someone else doing all of the advertising for you. They are just looking for another way to make an easy buck.
