#2I am from Germany and I am really embarassed by the stupidity in my country.
Youtube should just disable its service for Germany. Grooveshark did the same. Everyone who is serious about the internet could enable the service anyway.

#3I thought that they already did this automatically? I uploaded a video I took from my old apartment, because I lived behind a club* you could hear music and Youtube automatically detected it on upload. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOANhQ9nQYk and the message I see via my account:
""Hi Friend", musical composition administered by: EMI Music Publishing. Your video is still available worldwide. In some cases, ads may appear next to your video. Please note that the video's status can change, if the policies chosen by the content owners change. Learn more about copyright on YouTube.".
I have also uploaded videos from TV shows that have been detected automatically as content owned someone else. This clip from a UK TV show "countdown": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuHREvK74-4
""Countdown-Countdown", audio-visual content administered by: Channel 4" Your video is blocked in these locations: Guernsey, Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey, United Kingdom. Please note that the video's status can change, if the policies chosen by the content owners change. Learn more about copyright on YouTube."
Doesn't this satisfy the courts that Youtube is going to great lengths to prevent this?
* Never live behind a club, it's ridiculous.

#4As Germany seems to be more strict than anywhere else, does someone know if these actions there had effect on the industry revenues ?

There is more than music videos on YouTube.
I hope this will give a boost to free music.

That is true.
But if a company like Google takes a stand against those ridiculous court orders, we get one step closer to freeing the internet from the oppression of the copyright industry.

#7Another great example how the german court again and again tries to kill internet innovation with ridiculous stuff like this.
Really hope this isnt the last word in the debate!

#8[inflammatory comment] So following that logic car manufacturers are responsible for all the car accidents in history; its their users, they should check that the person is able and fit to use their service (car).
It just makes me mad. It's just a bad precedent.

#9If Google wanted to make a big stink out of this, they could decide not to offer YouTube in Germany at all, citing the country's royalty laws as a reason it cannot operate viably there.

All negative effects on media industry revenues are always due to piracy!
