The scum of the Earth (copyright trolls) are now going after the Big Boys.
I guess with the defeats these trolls have been handed lately they are getting desperate...

CNN and Canada's CBC are being sued after the pair allegedly ripped a 31 second video from YouTube and used it in their broadcasts without a license. In addition to claims of copyright infringement, the media giants face allegations that they breached the anti-circumvention measures of the DMCA
It looks like the "scum" here are the media giants who used copyrighted content without permission. This is comparable to the scum who pirate movies, TV shows, and other copyrighted content. I would hardly call someone who makes original content and uploads it to youtube a copyright troll.
Your reading comprehension is failing you. I suggested that they aren't trolls; thus I am not defending trolls. Let's be honest here. We're talking about original content and art that is protected by authority of the Constitution. We're not talking about a necessity. There's no way to justify pirating this content.
I know your anti-Constitutional views are prevalent among pirates and you don't believe that people should be able to prosper from their work but that doesn't make protecting your work trolling.
We're talking about a piece of entertainment created by an individual here. Not the concept of drinking water. It's impossible to reasonably justify pirating this. It's interesting to watch "scum" try, however.

Could you point out to me where in the Constitution it says that musical works, written works et al are copyrighted in perpetuity?
You are completely satisfied/happy that works like the Birthday Song are copyrighted, right?

You are completely fogged by the smoke and mirrors the riaa and mpaa regurgitates on a regular basis...
Oh and not for nothing Mr High and Mighty, if I find something I'll use on a regular basis I purchase it...

The video is from November, 2014. How do you equate less than a year old to perpetuity? Perhaps you should look up the word perpetuity right after reading the Constitution.

Not sure how this applies. Artists sign contracts for distribution and recording. Artists don't go around saying "steal my music"... if that's the justification you're looking for.

This is not a personal attack on those who abide by copyright laws and purchase the rights to use copyrighted work. There are scum out there who will download a movie, TV show, or music even though it is copyrighted. It's one thing when you download the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" where the copyright has expired. It's another when you disregard the Constitution and download something that still has a valid copyright.
Bottom line is people who sue over copyright issues are scumbags and the same goes for the people who support these scumbags...
