YouTube removes 30,000 files amid Japanese copyright concerns [WSJ] “The Japan Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers, found 29,549 files such as video clips from TV programs, music videos and movies posted on YouTube’s site without permission, said Fumiyuki Asakura, an official from the organization, on Friday.”
Peter Gabriel re-shocks the monkey [Business Week] “The resulting Shock the Monkey remix contest, viewable on www.realworldremixed.com, is one rock musician’s solution to the problem faced by nearly everyone in the media business these days: how to stay relevant when consumers are generating so much of their own content on sites such as News Corp.’s MySpace and Google’s latest acquisition, YouTube.”
Google profit rockets [USA Today] “Google said third-quarter revenue rose 70%, to $2.7 billion, from the same period last year. Net income was $733 million vs. $381 million a year ago.”
Yahoo ‘disappointed’ with Q3 performance [ENN] “Yahoo’s profits plunged 78 percent in July, and its latest third quarter results — although not as drastic — still give pause for thought with profits down 38 percent.”
