Eyes on YouTube

Just when we thought that monitoring YouTube couldn't get any worse, an independent "watchdog group" has stepped in to ensure the Google owned company is doing their job at monitoring copyrighted materials.

The watchdog group, NLPC, has felt it was their duty to step in and do some monitoring since media companies have been pressuring Google to ban clips of movies, videos and TV shows. The group wants to stir things up a bit, and show the public what the effects of the intellectual property that is being taken without consent can cause. But we have to wonder, is this group being funded by any higher powers? In the past NLPC did some damage when they uncovered a $21 Billion deal between the Air Force and Boeing, which saw two Boeing execs spending some time in jail.

Will there be jail time for Googlers, that's highly unlikely, but media companies are getting extremely frustrated about the increasing delays in a copyright filtering technology that Google had promised.
