User talk:EmiMac

I love any studies that have to do with Google, and especially YouTube because of the far reaching implications any sort of action in this area causes. Google is well know in my circles for causing wide-spread panic at the flick of an algorithm update switch, so finding out the exact causes of the copyright sweep would be fascinating reading.

The biggest area of concern here, for many of the people that had their videos taken down, was that it affected a lot of livelihoods. Even though users agree to YouTube's terms of services, I wonder what would have happened had any of them taken Google to court for affecting their ability to support their families? Whilst many users do it for secondary income, some do use it as a primary means of income.

Looking through the lens of our class studies would really help cement many of the discussions we've been having about freedom of speech and copyright protections.

Looking forward to reading your final paper! ErikaLRich (talk) 20:13, 10 March 2015 (EDT)
